vim glitch with opening new files

There's one very strange behavior that I observe both in vim and gvim. I do

vim new_file.c

This opens empty file for editing.

Now in vim I do

:new new_file.h

Instead of getting buffer with another empty file, I get the screen
split and new_file.c is for edit in both buffers. This is not all.
If I do some modifications in the new buffer and then close it without
saving, then it'll get closed. Now again I try to do

:new new_file.h

and this time I get the error

E37: No write since last change (add ! to override)

Opening existing files works correctly. Is this a glitch of my version
only, or someone else has seen it as well?

Here's the output of :version
