Can't say for sure, but there was a bug in 1.16 that caused pgAdmin III to freeze up when performing such operations as renaming a table. Version 1.16.1 fixed that problem, but now you get the tree collapse you describe. Perhaps the "quick and dirty fix" involved this behaviour? I find it annoying as well, but not nearly as annoying as the freeze up!
