Comment (by nickm):

 Actually, I don't think switching the order of the bind and the close is a
 good idea.  The important observation about the current behavior is that
 (except in the cases noted on this ticket), it is reversible: we can't get
 stuck in a state where we closed the old ports but can't open the new
 ones.
