Referring to page 10 of the LabVIEW 8.2 upgrade notes (see http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371780b.pdf): "The Application Instance Close and Application Instance Close? events replace the Application Exit and Application Exit? events. When you use the Application Instance Close event in a VI running outside a LabVIEW project, LabVIEW generates the event when you quit LabVIEW through the user interface or programmatically. LabVIEW generates the Application Instance Close? event when you quit LabVIEW through the user interface. When you register the Application Instance Close and Application Instance Close? events for a VI running within a LabVIEW project, LabVIEW generates the events when the application instance closes or when you quit LabVIEW."

However, this appears to be fixed in LabVIEW 8.0 and the technique mentioned in this article appears to work just fine on all OS'es.

I forget how I found out about it, but it's nice to know from one of the LV experts that I'm doing something right and of professional quality. :D *Whew!*
