I have noticed this same problem as I do have a MIDI device with about 12 synths hooked up to it, and I cannot find any way to prevent it from making this change every once in awhile. I believe a few years ago there was a sound - on - sound article that talked about this issue in great length.
What I have been meaning to do ( and haven't had a chance) is to create a utility that will analyze the XML file that has the MIDI setup in it and pull those settings off of one and put them onto the other. I did this by hand once as proof of concept, and it works, I just haven't gotten around to writing code for it.
I'd love to not have to do this anymore myself though.
