I believe this is intended behaviour. Typically you would activate this option
while playing something just before locking your screen and moving away from
your computer (e.g. to allow the current song to finish while going to sleep).

Upon resuming playback again, you would most probably prefer the playback to
continue past one song, i.e. using normal behaviour, rather than the "Stop when
finished" behaviour.
