Spacemacs layouts - new layout does no longer start with emtpy buffer list

[cpaulik]

Description

A new layout used to and should start with an empty buffer list. But now it adds the current buffer to a newly created layout.

Reproduction guide

• Start Emacs
• Open any file
• SPC l l layout-name RET

Observed behaviour:
Buffer visiting the file is part of new layout.

Expected behaviour:
layout should start with empty scratch buffer.

I have the impression it's not the first time that I read about this problem, but I'm not sure nor can find any other issue, so I'm probably wrong.
