What is the expected behaviour of "Clear recent history" with regard to tab groups?

I frequently clear my browsing history (all available items selected), and I keep many tabs in groups in the background. Until recently, this would work fine, i.e., clearing the browsing history would not affect the tabs in the background groups. As of recently, this seems to have changed: Now, when I clean my browsing history (again: all items selected), and then switch to another tab group, the tabs in that group will first show the names of the respective sites (as expected), but issuing a "Reload all tabs" will make all tabs go blank and show a "New tab" name.

Is this expected, or is it a bug?

I don't have much personal experience with tab groups. However, I believe they are stored only in your session history files where Firefox stores all open windows and tabs. So I would expect that clearing history would treat ALL open tabs the same, regardless of what group they are in. But maybe there is some reason for treating them differently. Such as more privacy, or a bug.

(There were more than a dozen changes to Session Restore in Firefox 29, and in a quick perusal of the bug titles, none struck me as being particular to tab groups.)
