I think Emacs should ask if the existing connection should be closed. The buffers should be reused if the answer was "yes". Otherwise fresh buffers should be used. The same for C-u M-x slime.
I've tried to make things more consistent. It's like this except that "no" is the answer that disconnects the old connections first. Possibly "yes" would be better since usually you do want to close the old ones, and Windows GUIs have taught us all to press "yes" when in doubt. :-)
I'm not especially attached to the current prompts etc - hack at will.
