There should be an option allowing to keep open only those projects that are 
part of the currently selected working set.

When selecting a working set to be used
  - projects included in the working set should be opened
  - projects not included in the working set should be closed

For example, I work on different "project groups" that are completely 
disjoint. I use a working set for each group. Every time I switch from group A 
to group B, I need to close all projects of group A manually, then switch to 
the working set for group B and finally open all projects of group B manually.

Eclipse should provide an option doing all that in one step.

Might be a good tweak for the incubator.

Sorry, Kim, but I've found time for implementing this ;-)

These patches introduce 'Open Working Set' and 'Close Working Set' commands (available using the Quick Access feature) and will open/close all closed/opened projects in a given working set. This slightly differs from an original request but works quite well for me for the same use case.
