For future reference:

Preferences are stored in a session cache during the life of the
user's login session.  This improves performance because the
system doesn't read and write to the preference storage
containiner upon every page load.

Writes only occur when a preference is changed.  If a preference
value does not change over the life of a session, a write will
never occur.

The session cache is populated upon login, so that's explains the
behavior you experienced.

Glad to hear it. =)
