When you choose to make the changes permanent it should write that to custom-file (which by default is your .emacs). It should however include all the old values. If it did not then something is wrong. Can you show us your .emacs? Was there perhaps several custom-set-variables entry in it? Also the normal information in the bug report is missing (date you did a check out from the CVS repositories beeing the most important). Can you tell us that?

The whole purpose of customize would be defeated and there would be lots of bug reports. But since there aren't lots of these reports, I'm afraid the problem must have been something peculiar to your settings somehow.
