I don't think it is in fact related to desktop. If I call

  (dired-restore-desktop-buffer nil "*" '("C:/Windows/temp/foo/*"))

it doesn't fail. The problem seems to be that (dired
"/some/path/with/empty/dir/*") is failing for you (y'all, I mean ;-),
while it works on Windows. Can you try this without desktop.el?
