I believe this is not a problem; it is the intended behavior.
If an open location is specified, it should open that location regardless of the startup settings.

[Josh65-2201]

That doesn't make sense. If and open location is specified it should really open a new tab with it (This is what browsers do). It also makes continue where you left off quite useless as I have to open any tabs that were there before to come back to it later every time.

[hishitetsu]

I see, so if the startup setting is not "Open a new tab", not only the specified location should be opened but also the same tab that would be opened if the location were not specified.
Is this correct?

[Josh65-2201]

Yeah start up settings are following just with the new tab that would be opened.
