I think that there must be a crack or opening in the insulating between the two compartments and the compression of air as you close the fridge is pumping through the crack and opening the freezer door. There shouldn't be any passage between the two compartments, but I'm thinking maybe there is a simple valve or venting arrangement that's frozen up. Try De-frosting the whole thing and see if it makes any difference. Should be done regularly anyway.
