Thanks for the report, I think that the real issue here is that the owner can be confused as to the expected mode of opening the room (we only have one mode currently - via the panel). In bug 1066019 we're planning on making it so that link-clicks in Firefox would also open in the conversation window.

The user story on that bug already has the owner-case defined, so making it do the correct thing (open the conversation as owner) would be easy. If the room's already open, we could provide a visual message or redirect or something. I've updated the user story on that bug with a reference to this one.

We haven't done the breakdown for that work yet, so I'm going to mark this as a duplicate, but the info is stored in the user story on that bug.
