Perhaps the reason why the Mind Stone exhibited Tesseract properties is that Thanos found some way to bond the two. The Asgardians said two infinity stones in close proximity would be a bad idea, but the Other said Thanos knew the Infinity Stones like the Asgardians never will. Thanos could have linked the two stones somehow, maybe to bring Loki to Earth, so now the Mind Stone looks blue, fires energy blasts similar to the Tesseract-powered lasers, and "cannot defend against itself", although that comment may refer to all Infinity Stones. Maybe Infinity Stones work like Chaos Emeralds: they can detect each other, respond to each other's presence, and can be augmented by each other, so the Infinty Gauntlet would be like Super Sonic. Just a thought. It could be that the mind Stone simply has a natural affinity to bond to other nearby stones, then for example it would glow red and fire corrosive tendrils in the presence of the Aether or glow purple and fire purple blasts in the presence of the Orb.
