Yes, no disagreement there.

Sorry, but it does not behave that way. When you toggle a setting (either from
View, or from Tools -> Options -> [Module] -> View) it is toggled immediately
in the user profile and is persistent on next launch of the module.

That is to be expected because it uses the same .uno command for both actions.

A change would require duplicating the .uno command(s)--giving one persistent
from Tools -> Options -> [Module] -> View menu as currently, and one transient
i.e. not writing out to the profile registrymodifications.xcu from the View
menu.

Not to say something more flexible couldn't be worked up, but is it really
needed? 

IMHO no.
