I am running the same environment and do not have this.

Perhaps one difference is I run 4 copies of Thunderbird for different 
mail directories (and multiple email addrs)  I have to run from a script:

export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
thunderbird -profile ~/data/htt/Mail &
export -n MOZ_NO_REMOTE

Or whatever the mail directory is.

I suspect it is something you have uniquely configured in Thunderbird.  
Lots of things there to configure wrong in my personal experience!
