Wrong? There is nothing wrong with spatial browsing...
Surprising to you? Surprising to whom?
To anyone who has used any other windowing system or any application
that has a File/Open new window option and expects to get new windows
only when they ask for them.
A person new to linux who has
no exposure to Windows does not find this behavior surprising, I assure
you.
Why would someone only use one OS? And why should you have to be such a
person to find this behavior tolerable?

should open a new window.
And when they go more than a few folders deep they'll still be annoyed
at all the useless still-open windows left around even if they expect them.
A person new to nautilus spatial browsing but who has experience with
linux may find it surprising, and so will someone who has experience
with Windows Explorer but who has never seen Apple OS.
The finder in OS X doesn't clutter my screen that way - at least in
10.5. What Apple OS do you mean?
If this argument
is going to be used lets get to the root of it... is conforming to the
'de facto' standard (folder trees) in browsing files in the Windows
world important? There is no wrong.
"Different for no reason" is wrong for anyone who works with more than
one system. And opening new windows all over the place is different
even from earlier versions of nautilus itself.
