I believe this is supposed to be the way AutoCAD works. Every version of AutoCAD I've used from 2005 up until 2021, when I published in the background a second instance of AutoCAD would open with the drawing I was publishing from and would then close when the operation was complete. It seems a similar thing is happening for you, except a second instance of the drawing is opening in the same instance of AutoCAD. Not exactly sure why it would do one over the other, but it's effectively the same thing, so long as you are able to use your drawing while the second instance of it is publishing. 

 

Oddly, though, now that I am using AutoCAD 2023, when I publish in the background no second instance of either the drawing or the program is opened. That is, not visibly opened. I imagine it is opening a second instance somehow, as that is how background publishing works. But I don't see a new instance of AutoCAD open, nor is a new file tab added to my current instance like in your screenshot.
