Basically, the problem is that the terminal buffers are stored within filehandles on the tmp filesystem. If you run strings on your /tmp filesystem as root you should see quite a bit of your previous terminal buffer history, including that of old closed terminals. I consider terminal buffer history to be a sacred thing, so I was quite surprised to find out about this behavior.
