Cannot reproduce.

Are you sure you didn't happen to accidentally open the exact same file? Can you check again?

I think I found the cause of the problem.
In KDE System Settings->Application Style->Window Decorations->Titlebar Buttons
I enabled the Global Application Menu.

With if I disable it (remove from the titlebar) okular opens new documents in new tabs as desired.

Okay, I definitely found the real problem.

The application link command on my desktop to ocular was followed by " --unique %F", whatever that means, wherever that came from... removing it solved the problem. 
For debugging purposes I started okular via terminal "LANG=en okular", and this worked, while starting okular from my desktop icon link gave okulars wrong behavior... 

Its not a bug, just my stupidity :)
