This is correct behavior based on essential concepts of ORM. It also works same for Linq to SQL. The reason for this is design pattern called IdentityMap which ensures that each entity identified by its key is created only once for object context. So your first query creates entites but your subsequent queries don't recreate them - they already exists. The full description of this problem is described in this very nice article.
