I'm not sure this is true - each line is highlighted when moused over - so it's obvious in the vertical spacing where user needs to check. Horizontally, you can click anywhere in the "Restore" column.

I suspect lack of a checkbox was a design decision. A clean look that I rather like. Does Tim agree?

I have no real opinion about that, UX people probably have. I didn't even notice that until now. All the images google yields for about:sessionrestore do indeed have no borders for checkboxes, so it's not a glitch.
