FWIW, I'm rather confused too... ;-)

Yes. If you restart your Emacs and get a bad frame, do not exit Emacs!
Immediately open the desktop file and get hold of the (setq
desktop-saved-frameset ...) line and save it in a safe place :-)

Then you can replace the equivalent line in my bug17046.el file with
yours, exit Emacs, and do the tests requested at your leisure.

The tests would be:

1) emacs -Q -l bug17046.el
2) Same, but replacing the ":force-onscreen t" by ":force-onscreen nil"
3) As 1), but insert  (sit-for 0) at the top of bug17046.el before the test
4) As 2), but with (sit-for 0) also, as in 3)
