When you choose to make the changes permanent it should write that to custom-file (which by default is your .emacs). It should however include all the old values. If it did not then something is wrong. Can you show us your .emacs? Was there perhaps several custom-set-variables entry in it? Also the normal information in the bug report is missing (date you did a check out from the CVS repositories beeing the most important). Can you tell us that?
