Ok. I've dug further, and am sure that this is a problem with i3-save-tree.
The containing workspace (container type = workspace) has some critical
information that is stripped away by i3-save-tree. Specifically the workspace
container structure (including the splitv layout) is lost as part of the
pruning process.
I can provide the entire tree associated with the workspace if that would
help. But I think perhaps I've given enough detail to understand the issue.
Please let me know if I should provide additional diagnostics.

Subject: i3 save/restore bug
I've found a bug with the i3 save/restore mechanism
In general the save/load works fine (I've tried a number of layouts that work
fine), however I have found a simple configuration that fails to save/load
correctly. I'm not sure yet if this is a problem with i3, or with
i3-save-tree.
I opened three windows in a workspace (and then saved using i3-save-tree
--workspace test /home/ubuntu/.i3/spec)
2 xterms side-by-side in top row
1 emacs in bottom row (I used the mod-shift-k to move emacs down)
Correct Layout (the layout I saved with i3-save-tree)

| xterm | xterm |

| emacs |

I then appended using i3-msg (i3-msg workspace new; append_layout
/home/ubuntu/.i3/spec
After Append Layout (Incorrect Result)
