I'm unable to reproduce this bug in Emacs 27 (and I also vaguely
remember something being fixed in this area a few months ago).

Instead of the error, I get:

Desktop: 1 frame, 0 buffers restored.

and then 

Register doesn’t contain a buffer position or configuration

when trying to C-x r j a-ing.

Are you still seeing this problem in Emacs 27?
