Frankly, I feel a bit lost when speaking of sessions (I am just a bug triager, not a Gnome developer). So I began to google for 'gnome sessions' and got to: http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/latest/sessions.html and more precisely to: http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/latest/gosstartsession-2.html
It is said there: "Applications that are not session-managed. When you save the settings for your session, the session manager does not save any applications that are not session-managed. If you log out, then log in again, the session manager does not start non-session-managed applications. You must start the application manually. Alternatively, you can use the Sessions preference tool to specify non-session-managed applications that you want to automatically start." Also: "To set how a session behaves when you log in and log out, use Sessions preference tool." Now they don't exactly say where but looking in my menu at the top (which is in french for me) I see: Systm/Preferences/Sessions that open a window with 3 tabs: Starting programs, Actual session and finally this session options. In the 'This session options' (translated in english by me), I have a checkbox that say: 'Save programs running when quitting session' (again translated). It is not checked by default. I believe what you want is to check it. Please tell me if that help you. That said, I would not consider this a bug.
