Of course there is. After the closed bug got archived, it's no longer
displayed by default for a bug search. So chances are that the next
user encountering this non-bug will file it again. Keeping the bug open
as "invalid" might make it more prominent to users that there is
actually no bug to file.
I am not saying "invalid" should be introduced, just why somebody might
want to use it and what the difference to closing it is.
