Probably depends in the user's workflow/habits: usually I make heavy use of opening multiple document windows from within the same Inkscape instance [1], and my initial expectation was that the state of the last closed window would be saved. I do not really keep track of which document window was opened first, nor what dialogs I had opened (or closed) in other windows except in the current one when e.g. quitting the application. Based on this workflow, one might expect that either
a) the dialog state gets saved per document (possibly in the document itself?), or
b) the state of the last closed document window is saved in the global preferences

Agreed.

[1] until the regression in bug #869067 made me use this feature with extreme care ;)
