This is because the preview window is not dependent on the scene but only on
the current render.  That is, you can close the scene while rendering is in
progress.  Among other things this allows to have multiple preview windows for
multiple scenes without having those scenes in memory.  Having multiple
preview windows for the same scene is possible as well also there isn't
current any user-controllable way to do activate this feature.

I agree this isn't ideal, but so far no good solution to keep both features
has been found.
