I just experienced this for the first time last night on a fresh build off master. I, too, expect an aborted capture to be discarded, and am quite certain it was in the past. This is easy to reproduce as well. Start capturing with guiding, set things up to abort if guiding is lost, and manually abort the guiding. The frame being captured will be written, and the new exposure starts from the time left when in this mode.

I had some guiding issues last night that had this manifest multiple times. I have things set to abort if the guide deviation is above a threshold, and at one point it did abort after abort and wrote frames, increasing the frame count each time until my set 30 frames was expended. They ended up being all junk, of course as there was no duration to the exposure. This seems to be a very recent change as I do not recall this happening before.
