Only my own experimenting, but thinking about it I can't see what else it 
could do.  When the co-expression ends, the interpreter has to pick another 
co-expression to carry on executing...so it picks &source.  I assume the 
exception is &main: when that co-expression ends (ie when main returns) the 
interpreter exits.

Certainly there is very little in the icon book about this, although there is 
an example on p121 which ends up with using @&main to get it back to the main 
co-expression, and hence to exit.

Hope this helps
