Based on what I have been told and my own deductions, this is correct. URLs stashed in the restore archives should be used for restore purposes only. Hijacking them to create persistent references across application launches risks losing that file reference. As with the rest of restore you must validate the restored state, ensuring your application is built defensively, and does not rely on any state being present. As far as I know, applications which require persistent file references to offer their functionality (so long as that functionality doesn't conflict with the App Review Guidelines) will, at App Review's discretion, be permitted to use the absolute file access temporary exception as a temporary workaround. However, be sure to file a problem report so that you can cite a radar number.
