On my 2 monitor setup, it works just fine. Just for reference it's a  
iMac 19" with a 19" sony trinitron external monitor with a hack to  
enable the desktop extension (Didn't come that way from the factory...  
Just desktop mirroring.)

The only way I can reproduce what you are talking about is if I  
actually stretch the browser screen across both screens end to end...  
Which then it centers really well in the middle of both monitors which  
is what I would expect.
