Its not the items in the fuel slot but the "red bar" that keeps its value from the destroyed entity when it should be reset
I guess the same behavior is expectable from any entity with a fuel slot (boilers, burner inserters...) but haven"t tested.
To reproduce :
place a furnace
fuel it
smelt something so the red bar appear
shoot the furnace down
let a bot rebuild it
the red bar is back to where it was when the entity was destroyed
