That feature is called autogap and implemnted about 6 years ago. See

I can not remember any complaints since than but agree that the behaviour 
is a bit odd.

That's another feature I don't want to miss. Handles near connection points 
are automatically connected, which in your case leads to autogap.

Without recompiling the only workaround coming to my mind is using another 
(mis-)feature. If you group the line with something else it wont connect 
any longer, thus not autogap.
