If the second monitor is not available anymore, i.e. if the dialogs
would be restored to a non-existing dialog, they automatically discard
the saved position.
At least, that's what the windows API SetWindowPlacement() does:
"If the information specified in WINDOWPLACEMENT would result in a
window that is completely off the screen, the system will automatically
adjust the coordinates so that the window is visible, taking into
account changes in screen resolution and multiple monitor configuration."
That means if you correctly switch your monitors, this will work. But if
you only turn off your second monitor, there's no way an application (or
Windows) can know about that.
