Yes.

Yes, a a clean profile behaves INcorrectly when using File > Exit.
There is no warning- just an abrupt termination.

I also discovered that bug 419009 re-appears with an otherwise clean
profile if one just changes one simple setting!!!!!!!

I don't have to install a whole load of esoteric extension combinations
to get bug 419009 to appear.

I just have to change an otherwise clean profile 
from the default of "Show my home page." 
to 
"Show my windows and tabs from last time."
Tools> Options> General> Startup> When Firefox starts:

(Your bug 702478 still manifests with either setting).

Interestingly, if I start up my particular profile of Firefox 12
and change this setting from "Show my windows and tabs from last time." to 
"Show my home page." and then hit the big red, top right X I do now get a 
different warning dialogue of "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the 
next time it starts?" (but no warning of closing multiple tabs).

(When using File > Exit, there is still no warning - just an abrupt
termination.)
