(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

Well, the option is "in this buffer", and looking in the code, it's not
saving this option at all, so I'm not able to reproduce this bit (in
Emacs 28):

So I think everything here is working as designed -- the other options
that are saved are global options, and not "this buffer" options, so I'm
closing this bug report.  If there's anything further to be done here,
please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
