Data of the global areas (top-bar and status-bar) isn't currently written to files. We could easily do that (most of it is implemented but disabled and possibly needs updates) and I probably would accept it from my side if there was a proposal to enable it.
But strictly speaking, this is not a bug, just a symptom of a missing feature.

I guess it doesn't matter if its a bug or not. This same idea is already respected in other areas of blender and works.

Maybe just hasn't been implemented properly due to cold beer on a hot day?

It only matters for organizational purposes. We have a strict view of what is considered a bug , so we can keep things in a manageable state.

Like I've said the issue is that top-bar data isn't stored in .blend files currently. I actually did implement this but we decided to disable it until there's an actual need for this. It may need some updating by now, but should mostly work still.

Created a patch to enable the global area data writing, D8845. The old code didn't need updates.
That fixes this issue.
