It may be a misunderstanding of what double actually does; it's less about something being double sided and more about which direction the extract happens in.
When the Double switch is turned on the extracted mesh will be created both inwards and outwards from the original mesh surface. The positive or negative aspect of the Thick slider is ignored when this option is used.
If you want an extraction to be truly single sided, you'll either have to use a thickness of 0, or manually delete a polygroup (extracting with thickness creates nice clean groups to make this quick and easy).
