There's nothing bad in failing. Clients do retry their last good TCP connections when they wake up, only to find out the routing and local IP address are no longer valid or available because the laptop moved physically away from the old network. Like they are let fail their connections gracefully, so reconnecting to the last known good WiFi AP can be allowed to fail: if it's lucky, it's going to reconnect to the last AP really fast, otherwise it's going to have to rescan the waves in search of some known AP. Unless there are security concerns in doing this, I would like my laptop to behave like this.
