This is a new feature, first added in the RC1 of the XR updates for Orbiter 2010, this is from the change log:

* External cooling line now supplies the ship with oxygen as well; i.e., onboard oxygen is not consumed while external cooling is active. This is nice when you want to accelerate time to wait for a launch window. (Feature requested by Urwumpe.)

It makes sense, if you think about it.

It makes perfect sense actually. If you've got external cooling, you're hooked up to some sort of support system, which presumably would be supplying the craft with oxygen. Also, on airless bodies, why not just use the radiator instead?
