It occurs to me that window.foo() doesn't work in Safari bookmarklets, which means that you need to invoke self.foo() instead. The reference behind self, meanwhile, can be pretty much whatever the browser engineers want it to be - one imagines that Safari 4 relates tabs to their parent window in a an uncommon (new?) way, which in this case means that self references the open tab rather than its window. Huh. Raised editorially...

So, we'll probably have to wait for Apple to fix the problem. I wrote a blog post about it at http://blog.wearesakuzaku.com/fixing-maximize-bookmarklets-in-safari-4/.
