Mine's exactly the same...
I traced it through on the wiring diagram once to make sure it was
intentional and not some wacky wires touching each other in a dirty
way.  The wiring diagram agreed with it...  And My buddy's vanagon does the
same, and in fact, my girlfriend's cabriolet does the same thing...  So you
get into the habit of turning the hazards on when you pull into the gas
station so that it doesn't eject it's tape when you kill the
engine...  However re-starting still ejects it.  :)
