It's real hard to keep hidden buffers (names matching
ibuffer-maybe-show-regexps /^ /) shown in ibuffer. You must use 0g to
see them. Any subsequent g (ibuffer-update) or ibuffer-and-update or
ibuffer calls will wipe them out.
No one doesn't want to see them every day, but when one does have them
visible, ibuffer should be like dired, which respects your ls flags
across revert-buffer (g) invocations.

In the current sources it's `ibuffer-maybe-show-predicates' and C-u g
to display buffers that match.
I'm not sure the current behaviour is a total misfeature because I
like to break out of displaying buffers matching
`ibuffer-maybe-show-predicates' without killing the Ibuffer buffer and
reinvoking `ibuffer'. However, I agree that it would also be nice for
Ibuffer to behave as you expect.
How about making C-u g toggle whether it and subsequent invocations of
g should display buffers matching `ibuffer-maybe-show-predicates' ?
WDYT?
