Description:
mysqldump with --dump-slave option will issue a 'START SLAVE' statement at the end.
I think the behaviour should be KEEP WHAT IT WAS. If the slave is stopped manually, mysqldump should not restart it automatically. At least such a  behaviour should be documented.

How to repeat:
@mysql server as a slave
issue statement: STOP SLAVE
@bash
mysqldump --dump-slave ...

after it finished, you can see the replication is restarted.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.
