Taskbar "Always on top" behavior different between single and multiple monitors?

Ok. This is an odd one I have been scratching my head about. It is weird that I never noticed this before. It seems the taskbar behavior is different if you have only one screen vs multiple screens. For me the option Always on Top has been enabled for a long time.
If I have only one screen enabled when I drag the bottom edge of the window it will stop at the top edge of the taskbar and will not go below it. The only way to get under the taskbar is to take the title bar and move the whole window down. Right now that is what I want.
If I have multiple screens enabled then I can take the bottom edge of any window and it will go under the taskbar without stopping.
Like I said this is with Always on Top enabled and to make sure it wasn't some odd registry setting that was changed on my main install I did clean installed inside of a VM and tested this. The VM of choice was VirtualBox and I used a backend setting in the software (not a GUI option) to tell the VM software that 2 monitors existed (even if it couldn't actually display the second screen). The same behavior was reproducable on clean installs with both Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 inside the VM. Any ideas on this one? Is it a bug? (Oh and before anyone says anything -- Yes I have enough licenses to cover legit installs of the VMs although to save activations I chose to only do a key-less install with SP3).
