Ah, that makes sense actually. You don't want to "restore defaults" and reread xml default values all the time, that would lose the user input.
If there are new parameters in the XML will it pick up those, with new default values?
Perhaps we need a "restore defaults" button which *would* reread the xml and reset everything.

It's actually not a bug (It's a feature, yay!).  Once you make a new
configuration and apply or close that configuration its values will be
saved.  The values in the saved configuration will stay the same until
they are manually changed, so long as they map to values specified in
the xml file.  So the configuration with the checked option wasn't
loading it from an old version of the xml, it was loading a state it
had saved earlier.  The defaults in the xml file only apply when the
configuration is first created.
