Is this behavior expected? Is this a "feature" documented anywhere for IE or Tablet XP?

I thought I noticed that happening too.
However, then I noticed that I had somehow checked
    Reuse windows for launching shortcuts
(Options, Advanced tab)
Fixed that and haven't been able to duplicate the phenomenon since.

Actually in my case I was noticing it when I was dragging links
with Ctrl- held down (probably thinking absent-mindedly of
doing Explorer file copying or something <g>).

FWIW
