For this bug report, yes.  But for the more general session management 
handling, it really is "start where we stopped".  Who knows what 
other/future packages save in the current directory?  Relative filenames 
perhaps?  Not to mention the fact that I personally get irritated that 
C-x C-f from *scratch* starts with the wrong directory in this case.

That is too simplified, Emacs has more state than just the desktop file.
