..I was using map[] and beta and is this a bug ?. But I coded this sampler and is not a beta thing, is an production thing too.
Is the code as presented supposed to fail ? ( found viable solutions, so this is not an OMG! kind of thing )
I believe that the logic would work if not GuiOnEvent mode.

Edit: Tried in v3.2.12.x and v3.3.8.1 and is a design thing. Not new. I just never noticed it.

I've used OnEventMode with multiple GUIs before (for example my PlasmaKit script).

Perhaps, something like this? 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $iExitLoop = 0, $hGUIParent1, $hGUIParent2, $iLoadGuiTwo = 0
Example1()
;~ Example2() ; not an example but a GUI ?
Func Example1($iParent = 0)
    Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
    $hGUIParent1 = GUICreate("Parent", 400, 300, -1, -1, -1, -1, $iParent)
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "OnEvent_CLOSE_ONE", $hGUIParent1)
    GUICtrlCreateButton("load GUI TWO", 8, 8, 100)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "LoadGuiTwoFromGuiOne")
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1 ; Loop until the user exits.
        Sleep(100)
        If $iExitLoop Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
    $iExitLoop = 0
    GUIDelete($hGUIParent1)
EndFunc   ;==>Example1

Func Example2($iParent = 0)
;~     Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
    $hGUIParent2 = GUICreate("Child", 300, 400, -1, -1, -1, -1, $iParent)
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "OnEvent_CLOSE_TWO", $hGUIParent2)
    GUICtrlCreateButton("say hi", 8, 8)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "GuiTwoSayHi")
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

;~     While 1 ; Loop until the user exits.
;~         Sleep(100)
;~         If $iExitLoop Then ExitLoop
;~     WEnd
;~     $iExitLoop = 0
;~     GUIDelete($hGUIParent2)
EndFunc   ;==>Example2


Func OnEvent_CLOSE_ONE()
    ConsoleWrite('- Func OnEvent_CLOSE_ONE()' & @CRLF)
    $iExitLoop = 1
EndFunc   ;==>OnEvent_CLOSE_ONE

Func OnEvent_CLOSE_TWO()
    ConsoleWrite('- Func OnEvent_CLOSE_TWO()' & @CRLF)
    GUIDelete($hGUIParent2)
EndFunc   ;==>OnEvent_CLOSE_TWO

Func LoadGuiTwoFromGuiOne()
    Example2($hGUIParent1) ; no solution.
EndFunc   ;==>LoadGuiTwoFromGuiOne

Func GuiTwoSayHi()
    ConsoleWrite('--- HI' & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>GuiTwoSayHi

Keep in mind, pressing the "load GUI TWO" button again while one is already open will overwrite the handle assigned to $hGUIParent2.  You could account for this in various ways if you intend to not allow this behavior.

thanks @spudw2k but the sample code I presented should work, but it does not. I can get around it but may be something to make the coders ( MVPs ) and scripters aware of, since within the OnEvent function, all other OnEvent functions are halted/skipped.

I think the issue ultimately has to do with your second while loop when the 2nd GUI function runs.  That seems to be what is causing the events to not fire from what I can tell.  I'm not sure why it does, but it does.
