I can confirm this behaviour on Linux x64 with latest (non-beta)
Enigmail and Thunderbird 17.0.8 (latest from ubuntu repositories).
Never noticed it before, but this is a big information leak.

Also, saving the draft encrypted appearently always saves it as
PGP/MIME, even if the default setting is to use inline PGP, which can
lead to tears if you try to open the draft on another device (like
Android with K9 Mail + APG, which cannot really handle PGP/MIME).
