Question about new namespaces and discussions
I added two new namespaces to my wiki. They are numbered 100 and 101
respectively.

For some reason it seems that the 101 namespace defaults to a talk
about the 100 namespace. Or at least this is the way things look in
terms of the discussion and article tabs near the top. In particular
a page created in namespace 101 appears as a discussion and if you
click on the article tab it takes you to namespace 100 empty page.

Is this some sort of default behavior that odd namespaces are talk namespaces?

Yes. Namespaces must obey this rule or things will break badly.

where n is an even number:
n -> some namesapce
n+1 -> namespace n's associated discussion namespace
