When desktop-restoring-frameset-p is nil you're not really "restoring
a single frame", because nothing about the frame (dimensions,
position, minibufferless state, window tree) is restored. You're
creating a new frame and restoring the buffers. In that case, the
window/buffer correspondence is not maintained so you can do whatever
you want with the buffer list order.

You could try it with and without desktop-restore-frames and report back.

IIUC Martin's last comment, that's far from trivial.
