This looks related to the Playlist bug post I just entered. How much, I can't say because in my situation I am not using a playlist at all. BUt the symptoms are exactly the same!

Does this mean fixed in 1.45.2? As I noted in the Playlist Bug, 1.45.1 does not resolve this issue. When will 1.45.2 be made available?

Neutron memorizes position in 1.45.1 already. All depends on how you exit. If you have player playing, exit to UI and then kill process then application does not have a chance to memorize position. If you stop playback, exit UI and kill process it will memorize. Also if you exit UI, stop playback and kill process immediately it will not save position as saving happens by internal timer which won' make it.

This could be the problem - the extra step to kill the process. I stop the player, exit the UI and then power off. The need to have to go in to Manage Applications and kill the process before power off is not very friendly. I will try to confirm or deny if that works, but may I ask you to consider something more user friendly? When exiting the UI, can that be when NMP saves the "state"? Or when it plays the next song, can't that be a time to save the NMP "state" so that exiting and powering off at any time is no longer an issue? The average user will struggle greatly with the extra step to go in to Manage Applications and kill the process before turning off.

I can confirm that killing the process before power off results in NMP remembering the song played to resume from that point.

As I mentioned before, this is not a very elegant solution. Somehow, NMP needs to update itself at the time it is playing so that an abrupt power off without killing the process will result in NMP knowing where it was previously to resume song and album playback correctly.

Will the update be 1.45.2? Note my updates in the Playlist Bug thread. Perhaps for ease of reference we should only use either this thread or the Playlist Bug thread to further discuss?

Yes, let's stick to another thread for same issue. The update will be 1.46, I am finalizing what I've done so far and will make release soon (Mon - Tue, hopefully...).
