Why? Because the startx script assumes that when the X11 server exits, the user meant for this to happen, and it simply falls through and goes into the shutdown sequence.
I am not sure your version is the same as mine. I too find it irritating and more so at one point in time, I liked to experiment with newer X drivers and libraries.

Eventually what happened was that I modified /etc/init.d/knoppix-startx, towards the end, I commented all the lines after the comment 'Shutdown/Reboot after X-session'. That put a stop to this rather knoppix-ish behaviour.
