Hm, Personal Edition? But Books Online says that Auto-Close is only on
by default for MSDE, so it should be off by default on Personal.

I tried flipping the AutoClose on model on my Developer Edition, and
new databases followed the setting on model. There could still be something
hardcoded for Personal, but I doubt.

I would try:

ALTER DATABASE model SET AUTO_CLOSE ON
go
ALTER DATABASE model SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF

and also restart SQL Server.

Yes, I'm clutching at straws.
