There is enough drag in the transmission to cause the output to turn. As Starmilt said, it shouldn't be turning at speed.
Hmm... maybe the cause of your transmission shifting hard...

yes the drive shaft will turn at engine speed in neutral with the shaft not connected
all the friction clutches in the trans average about .010 clearence for each clutch plate the fluid that is coating all of the clutches will have sufficient drag to spin the driveshaft
with out it being attached and the colder itis the more drag thats created
you have a normal condition

Sounds like an old Massey Fergueson Tractor, the PTO always would turn even when off, but if you put your hand on it it would stop.
