Sounds like a bug, but just to make certain, try this:
Stop alsa
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
Delete the alsa configuration (this is saved from current in memory
values every time alsa-utils stops, so you must stop alsa first)
sudo rm /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
Then reboot your system, and see if the values are still funky.
