Ah, yeah, this is related to bug 587040. I guess you would expect the latest selected tab to be opened, I would actually expect nothing to happen (which I described in that bug).

not reproducible as of Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100904 Firefox/4.0b6pre ID:20100904041009, but I keep this bug open until Bug 587040 is resolved, because I think it might change the behavior.
