Is this documented; if not, would a patch to this effect be accepted?

I had a cursory look but don’t quite understand why that precludes desktop-save-mode from working with Emacs in the terminal. If you save an -nw session, you’d have no graphical frames to restore when starting an -nw session. I’ll read the thread in its entirety when back in front of the kb.
