It is consistent with the behaviour of MS Office which opens a new document in
a new window if there is another document opened from template in the old
window. 

This is where the request for bugfix came from: the users migrating from MS
Office found it unacceptable that content provided by a template is silently
replaced by a new document. 

I've no idea which document management systems you've worked with in last 30
years, but maybe MS Office wasn't one of them? 

Atm I have no constructive idea how can people have it both ways except for
"introducing yet another compatibility configuration option and give those who
think they shouldn't have to change their workflow a possibility to get the old
behaviour back" which is not constructive at all
