No; I'm seeing the same thing on an XP Pro machine.  If you connect the 
RDP client, then connect a VNC client with the RDP client still running, 
movement in either window affects the other just like it should.  Exit 
the RDP client, and all communication to the VNC client stops. 
Refreshing gives you a black window, and no mouse or keyboard events 
make it to the server.  If you start the VNC client after the RDP client 
exits, the same thing happens.  If you reconnect an RDP client, the VNC 
client can use the machine until the RDP client exits.
