I can't replicate this issue on a fresh, updated install of Oneiric in a VM.

It leaves a running parent process and defunct child process. I've killed off the processes, removed my .thunderbird and tried starting it again, to the same effect, so I don't believe it's related to any profile or configuration information specific to me. I'll be happy to provide any further debugging information necessary.
