I just found a workaround for the problem, and a potential cause.

Workaround:
* Run gconf-editor.
* Browse to /apps/metacity/general
* Set a value for "num_workspaces". (Or right-click and choose "unset key" to
reset to a default value of 4.)

Changes to the number of desktops that are made via workspace switcher are now
saved.

Possible cause:
My original value for this key was not set. (Possibly as a result of upgrading
from Warty->Hoary->Breezy and a switch to using this key instead of
/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/number_of_workspaces in recent Gnome
updates?)
