That seems like a bug -- shouldn't they be loaded in emacs-wiki mode?

From desktop.el:

;; To avoid saving excessive amounts of data you may also wish to add
;; something like the following

;; 
(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook
;; 
	  '(lambda ()
;; 
	     (desktop-truncate search-ring 3)
;; 
	     (desktop-truncate regexp-search-ring 3)))
;;
;; which will make sure that no more than three search items are saved.  You
;; must place this line *after* the `(desktop-load-default)' line.  See also

So you could kill your emacs-wiki buffers in a desktop-save-hook function.
