I'm fairly sure that just like bug 1048648 (which you also filed), this is essentially a duplicate of bug 490354, and it is by design that you can restore the closed tab, including session cookies, but I'll let Ehsan make a final call here.

Yes, this doesn't involve storing any of this information on disk, so it's not a privacy issue.
