If you really dis-like this you can disable this functionality system-wide by
editing the /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf and settings enabled to False.
If all that you want to do is have less of these directories (e.g. have them all
use Documents), then you can achieved that by something like:
xdg-user-dirs-update PICTURES ${HOME}/Documents
(or edit the file ${HOME}/.config/user-dirs.dirs manually).
You can also do this system-wide by editing /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults.

This is down to how you saved your session - if you were in that dir when you
saved the session it will restore there.
Also, if you are in ${HOME}/Desktop, and then start a new window/tab it will use
the same dir for the new window/tab.
Saying that - it *may* be a bug, but the only way to be sure is to get a
reproducible case.
