I'm not sure i understand what you mean.  I suppose you start 'emacs
--no-desktop' and have some lines in your .emacs that load/save your desktop. 
You think those lines should not load/save your desktop when --no-desktop was
specified?

Well emacs does what you tell it to do ;-).

--no-desktop can not 'turn off a turned-on Save Desktop' because when emacs is
started there is no 'turned-on Save Desktop'.

It seems you would like --no-desktop to be much more final??

I think it would be wrong.  When i start emacs with --no-desktop then yes it
should not load any saved desktop.  But then later when a "desktop-save"
command is issued (no matter if via M-x or .emacs) i expect emacs to do just
that.
