Yes, the scenario you described is very likely. What is missing is the context.
The session I have in mind had the following context:
* Alice and Bob work together almost on a daily basis. Bob does not posses all
the sourcecode that comprises the project (maybe he doesn't want to, maybe he
isn't allowed to), but Alice does. So both developers know, that Alice might
scroll through a file that is not part of the session and never should be. She
might do that even unwittingly.
* So, in a session where Alice jumps around between different files, for Bob
it's worth mentioning to Alice that she opened a file that he can't see. This
way, the pair avoids prolonged explanations by Alice concerning that invisible
file. That's a healthy behavior and Saros doing fine here.
* But: If Alice closes all open files (your scenario) and even shortly thinks
of how and where to proceed, Bob is alerted (as usual), notifies Alice, and
Alice is confused. Both developers assume a malfunction of Saros, lose their
train of thought, their trust in Saros fault prevention and recovery
capabilities is lessened, and the world as we know it comes to end.
Yes, I know, I got carried away in the last part. But the principle holds: If a
simple and short action of Saros unnecessarily arouses the developers'
attention, this is a problem we should address. And I don't deem fixing this
one to be that expensive.

** [bugs:#804] No files opened: "non-shared file open"**
**Status:** open

Alice has no files open and creates a session with Bob.
In the Roster, Bob sees "non-shared file open" although this is not the case,
there is no file opened at all!
