Why is wlan enabled after I have used the wifi hotspot allthough I had only 3g connection enabled before?

I normally use only 3G data-connection and for some reason if I use the Wifi hotspot, then switch it off, the phone immidiately connects to my Wlan which I didn't have enabled, before using the hotspot. I think this is a bug because I can't think of a reason why the phone should work like this.
I've read elsewhere on this site one other also seeing this happening. Anyone else?
EDIT: I got the feeling that I should add that this strange hotspot behaviour also causes severe battery drain for me. Battery drain discussed HERE For me the battery looses about 40% power overnight if I have used the Wifi Hotspot. (switched it off, of course, along with the wlan-connection that was enabled) A simple reboot though fixes everything and I'm back to normal 4-5% power consumption over night.
This is still a bug in Vaarainjärvi 1.1.1.27. At least something similar. It often works as it should but sometimes it leaves the wlan on even if it initially was off. I have recently factory reset my phone so it is probably not just a bad configuration.
Also sometimes the hotspot fails to turn on and I have to try several times before it starts. When it doesn't start it often turns on wlan. Seems to be some bug with the wlan status. Put both wlan and hotspot toggles as favorites to be able to see both indicators at the same time, enable/disable the hotspot and look at the funny behaviour of the wlan indicator.
