I should add that pressing the Quit button a second
time (after getting the IDLE prompt back on the first),
closes IDLE/Python altogether.

I'm thinking this behavior (of command=root.quit not
closing the window) has to do with starting Tk.mainloop()
from within IDLE (itself a Tk application).  Given IDLE
is where I'd like younger school students to operate,
having a 'Quit' button that closes the window (doesn't
stick around inviting a 2nd click) is the behavior I
need.
