Yes -- many situations incur this behavior. For example, sometimes I realize I accidentally have the same document open in two or three tabs, so I close the other two while I'm reading the front one. In this situation, with an average of eight tabs open, it's nice to reduce the clutter a little bit.
Other times, one of the backgrounds tabs will have been spinning for a while, unable to load a page, and I don't want the annoying show-stopping 'url can't be loaded' pop-up to appear, so I close that background tab right before it happens.
