Yes, it is as you said:
If "Folders, tabs, and window state from last time. " is selected, then the
confirmation message is not displayed.   
If the radio button is in the other state (next to the field with the folder),
the confirmation box "You have multiple tabs open in this window, are you sure
you want to quit?" appears.

I tried the second option (= go to some default folder on startup) and when I
rebooted, all the folders from last time were there. So this seems to work for
me now, but I find it a bit confusing:
- Why are those two settings linked ?
- Does the second option do anything ?
- If I press "Quit Dolphin" in the confirmation box, only the tabs of the
current window will be closed (which is what I want!). However, the button text
"Quit Dolphin") suggests that all Dolphin windows will be closed, hence I was
at first hesitant to try it.

If this behavior is deliberate, this issue can be closed from my pov.
Thanks!
