Yeah, I suspected something of the sort. What surprised me, though, is that Chrome on the desktop specifically preserves cookies across process boundaries: if Chrome crashes or gets restarted, my cookies restart in the same state they were in before, which is immensely convenient. (If a tad dangerous: exiting Chrome does *not* cause transient cookies to go away.) By contrast, the cookies in Mobile Chrome are much more fragile, and probably do go away along process boundaries the way you indicate above.
No idea why the difference. I personally think of Mobile Chrome as more secure than desktop, which makes it seem an odd decision, but I may be unusual in making sure that all of my mobile devices are properly locked...
