This is an improvement on the old mechanism in that it can remember multiple selections, and it's remembered on a per-tab basis, not a per-folder basis.

Depends on D170408

?!
Not sure I follow, but I opened a bug 1817897 that is IMHO part of this report but maybe a separate thing (hence I opened as separate)

Just to clarify the expected behaviour: The commit summary looks the wrong way round. I think you wanted to say:

• This is an improvement on the old mechanism in that it can remember multiple selections, and it's [now] remembered on a per-tab per-folder basis, not a per-folder per-tab basis.

Is that right?

No. Only one selection could be remembered per folder, across the whole application, AFAICT.
