This behavior is not unusual for network apps... most are written under the assumption that the Network and the file-store will "always be there." You know, people believe the admonition "The Computer is the Network." In an effort to be "user friendly" the apps keep retrying long after they should give up. It's not normally a bug, but rather a point of view. NFS does the same thing.
However, you should be able to force quit without much problem -- (aka kill -9) -- under the Apple Menu it's almost always available. Or can be called up via "Command+Option+Escape." Or you can always kill it from the command line in Terminal.
