I, too, have had this sort of problem. Hardware configuration exactly
the same, running both the latest finder and the previous version.
Happens a lot after I play the "1000 miles" game, in which there is
a lot of double-clicking on items.
Apparently, LOTS of double-clicking in rapid succession can eventually
cause the Finder to get confused. Only fix I've found is a Reboot.
I'd be curious as well as to any possible solutions (not that it's a
life or death matter at this time......)
