Comment (by OMGPizzaGuy):

 The function that closes items appears to correctly find each item and
 check if it is an NPC. If so, it closes the gump immediately. Otherwise it
 calls Item::I_use, which spawns a usecode process that will eventually
 close the gump. Then the current usecode process calls
 TargetGump::I_target, which immediately opens the target gump, which is
 modal and prevents other processes from running.

 The solution might be to alter TargetGump::I_target to spawn a process
 instead to start the target gump when it runs. However, it's worth noting
 that target in the original game is not modal, so we could also try simply
 changing to that.
