As long as this functionality is documented on the incognito start page, similar to "doesn't make you anonymous" warnings, it seems fine (by design) to me.

If anyone has any pointers to documentation on the forensics aspects of this I'd appreciate a link.

It doesn't look like there's that much open source available for the new-ish Windows 8+ hibernation file: https://github.com/volatilityfoundation/volatility/issues/25

Why would anyone find this behaviour desirable? We should ask that before going to the "If its documented its the user's fault" truncheon.

To be clear to anyone else reading this, that's not what I said nor close to what I meant. I think I understand where you're coming from though.
