I just tried it, and you are correct. When you tap on "Private" a second time, the it closes out the session. I even went as far as closing Safari and removing it from the recently used app list, and when re-started Safari and then tapped on "Private" my last viewed tabs were available again.

I thought this was by design in iOS8. Rather than putting the whole browser in a "private" mode session, they opted to put individual tabs in private mode.
