I believe this would be considered a regression. If I remember correctly, with the old blank tab page if you used the "Open All in Tabs" function from a folder of bookmarks while the blank tab was selected, the page would be overwritten/obliterated. But now with the newly implemented about:newtab page, this does not happen. All the new tabs are merely appended. I thing the old behavior is preferable/intended as well. I'm seeing this in the current beta (13).

There is a similar bug to yours about about:blank and opening multiple bookmarks. See Bug 683146, that has been a lively debate.
Mass-move to Firefox::New Tab Page. Filter on new-tab-page-component.
Component: Tabbed Browser → New Tab Page
