Formerly, with the xpi versions, clicking the tray icon restored the Thunderbird window to the active desktop. This was really convenient, because after checking the mail and minimizing TB I was at the same place where I have left.

The current beta in contrast restores TB to the original desktop, so I always have to switch desktop in addition to activating TB. Or if activate window is checked, than I have to switch back to my desktop where I was working. This is quite annoying.
This behaviour itself is maybe not a bug, but an ergonomic problem (quite annoying and important I think), but I hope it will be changed in future versions.

Regarding this issue I have found another issue. I have tried to set TB window as show on all desktop, but in this case after the first activation you can no longer hide the window., only minimize works.
