Closing the private window closed the connections associated with the window, in every browser. Thus, it seems pretty clear that this behavior must be intentional. Searching on the web, I found a very suggestive document about the Chrome networking stack:
Socket reuse: persistent TCP connections are retained in the socket pool for some time after servicing the request to enable connection reuse, which avoids the extra DNS, TCP, and SSL (if required) setup overhead imposed on each new connection.
