Yes. As should we all, I think. If things are ambiguous it's time to
stop and take stock.

Much better. It's a single question now and presents the user with a
simple yes-or-no branching point. It's clear that if the last session
was complete then it doesn't matter if the buffer is cleared, and I
would assume from this that pressing "No" would leave things as they
are. As a user of your system I don't really care if the header is
cleared behind the scenes or not - all I'm concerned with is whether
or not I've completed the last edit.
