I think I finally understand what's going on here. The global defaults are
*just* defaults. If a user has one whitelist address, then they will use
*only* their own whitelist, not the global defaults you have saved.

When you whitelisted an address from IMP, that went into your whitelist,
not the global one. Thereafter you saw just that one address. The globals
were still there and you probably would have seen them if you deleted the
one address. But when you made that one address global, then yes, you
deleted the existing globals.

So there's no bug here, just a misunderstanding about the global list. I
suggest that you use a separate user account to maintain the global
defaults, given how you want it to behave.
