Overlay not closing per mask if once prevented

[double-uu]

Preconditions:
An overlay is opened and some second process/thread is started. While the thread is running closing the overlay is prevented by calling preventDefault() in the onBeforeClose event.

Action:
During runtime of the thread the event is fired by clicking the expose mask (one or more times).

Bug:
Now closing the overlay by clicking the expose mask is not working anymore and the onBeforeClose event is not fired anymore. The behaviour persists while the overlay remains open. Closing the overlay by the x button is still working.

Example:

var allowClose = false;

$("a[rel]").overlay({

    mask: {
        color: '#000000',
        loadSpeed: 200,
        opacity: 0.9
    },

    onBeforeLoad: function() {

        window.setTimeout(function() {

            allowClose = true;
        }, 3000);
    },

    onBeforeClose: function(e) {

        if(!allowClose)
        {
            e.preventDefault();
        }
        else
        {
            allowClose = false;
        }
    },

    left: "center",

    top: "center"

});

Hi double-uu,

Any chance you could please put the above example into a JSFiddle, so we can see this issue in action?
