I think this is a general issue with spaces that makes it less useful  
than it could be. You'll see this same behavior happen w/ every  
application.

It seems as if a given application will always be "tied" to the space  
that it is originally assigned to, or initially opened in.

For instance, say you open your PDF viewer in space 1 to view  
something. Then you jump to space 2 for some reason. If you then open  
up another pdf in space 2 the window will actually open in space 1 and  
you'll have to view it there.

Or, even more annoying:

Say you open Mail.app in space 1 and you decide that you really want  
to move it to space 2. So you go ahead and move it there. After  
reading some mail (still in space 2 now) and you decide to reply to  
something, the new reply window will open in space 1 and you will jump  
back to space 1 in order to start writing ... somehow annoying.

Anyway, that's just a long way of saying that I don't think it's TM's  
fault, but rather a design flaw in Spaces that I hope Apple will soon  
fix.
