Thanks for the praise, but we're not there yet...

I really don't see how this could possibly have been triggered :(

I have looked at the build Fedora 30 build configuration (which can be found 
here by the way: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnucash/blob/f30/f/
gnucash.spec)
To activate the obscure code path one would have to define the the constant 
CLOSE_BOOKS_ACTUALLY_WORKS somewhere and that doesn't seem to be the case.
And even if that constant would have been set the extra function to archive is 
not added to any tool button or menu item. So in theory there is no way to 
trigger this functionality from the GUI.

/me is puzzled...

Todd, do you remember which tab was open when you accidentally clicked the 
close button ? Was it a report tab, a register tab or an accounts tab or even 
something else ?

And could you remember the exact message you received after closing that 
specific tab ? I have searched all of the gnucash source code and there's 
really only one message using the word "archive". The message lead me to the 
obscure function I pointed out before. But that doesn't seem to be 
triggerable...
