On Windows 7. Three monitors. Eclipse is open in the middle one.
If trying to drag a view to left monitor (to detach it) it will show a tracker on the left monitor, but when releasing the mouse view appears on the middle monitor. Same thing but dragging to the right monitor works fine.

I got the same Problem with this setup:
Windows 7 on a laptop with 2 additional screens attached (Extend Desktop):
Left (Laptop screen): 1280x800
Mid: 1920x1200 (main)
Right: 1920x1080
Eclipse 3.5.2

The Tracker always is at a wrong position when dragging a view. The position of the tracker also depends on which monitor was set to be the main monitor and the position the monitor was configured in the windows control panel (left, middle, right)
To me it seems that the problem is influenced by the different resolutions of the screens. It also seems the origin used to calculate the Tracker position is related to which monitor is set to be the main monitor and on its position.
