I wasn't able to reproduce this using the latest nightly, as described here. If all my app tabs, as well as normal tabs in desktop mode had loaded fine, going to Windows 8 Touch mode and back made those work as before in desktop mode.

However, there was a problem if the app tabs did not get a chance to load in Windows 8 Touch mode before I switched back to desktop mode, in which case they would just disappear.

Resolving this as worksforme since it appears to be fixed in nightly.  The problem with loading tabs noted in comment 1 should be filed as a separate bug, if it isn't already.
