For some reason, a closed room with a spider silk rope seems to be attracting half my idling dwarves.  Every time I've looked in there it's had at least four dwarves (and as many pets) all just hanging out in there.  It's a pretty out-of-the-way place, and they're all ignoring identical rooms on either side to go to that one room in particular.  I looked closer and the only difference between the attractive one and the ones they were ignoring was that the one rope was -not- assigned to justice use.

I have no idea what's going on, but it's persisted for about half an hour now, and seems like wierd behavior to me.

It's probably because ropes/chains and cages can hold creatures to make it a sort of a zoo. Dwarves flock to the rope in hope to see the "wonderful creature" it contains, but there isn't any.

Pretty sure it's not supposed to happen until you actually tie a creature in there.

Yeah, the non-justice cage/chain rooms are zoos.  But they'll go even if they are no animals, because they don't know any better.
