Glad everyone got down ok but have to wonder why the glider and the
tug were at the same altitude, and in the same place, a minute after
release.

Hmm, off the top the 'how' seems easier to explain as it seems like a
classic case of "high wing/low wing" but adapted to a glider
operation. This of course still does not answer the question as to
why. Also glad everyone's alright...
