Do you know where in the codebase to dig to start debugging this?

There's no need to debug this: this is the expected behavior on TTY
frames

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

see desktop-restoring-frameset-p.  We deliberately don't
restore the frameset on text-mode displays.  For the reasons, see
bug#17693.

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.
