This question was closed and migrated to Math.SE 20 minutes ago (as of this writing). User Marek posted an answer to this question 15 minutes ago. I thought question closure/migration locks the quesion from being answerable? How did that happen?

1$\begingroup$ Interesting indeed; the revision history does not reveal anything, so this is a question to the team. $\endgroup$– user68Commented Jul 13, 2011 at 16:12

1$\begingroup$ Marek's answer definitely wasn't there when I migrated... odd indeed. $\endgroup$– David Z ModCommented Jul 13, 2011 at 16:24

4$\begingroup$ Oh, thanks for asking this, I also wondered whatever happened to the answer. I started to write the answer before migration and clicked to post after the migration (I presume). Obviously I hit some rare usecase. But as the question was migrated (and so inapropriate for this site) I didn't bother investigating this further. $\endgroup$– MarekCommented Jul 19, 2011 at 8:58

Closing does not necessarily block the question from getting answered, in that the server will accept answers but the UI generally tries to discourage this. See here:
Why was an answer allowed on a question that was merged into another one?
Migration does, however, when the question is locked.
