Steve, As far as I know, what you are describing has been the way GnuCash works on Windows for the entire life of the 2.6 series as well as the 2.4 series releases.
I am currently using various releases from 2.6.12 on to release 2.6 16 in Windows and Linux and I see the same with files saved in compressed .gnucash format. I understand that behavior is a little different for other formats and OS's but that there will not be a substantial improvement in the 2.6 series or even in the upcoming 2.8 series, but I could be wrong about that. As you have noticed, closing all reports before closing the data file helps minimize this.
