And you think I am not? :-)

The only I can suggest is a Post-It note which says "Don't forget to
set newly created databases to AUTO_CLOSE OFF".

I have no idea of what is going on. Maybe Personal Edition always sets
AUTO_CLOSE ON, despite that Books Online said that this applies to
MSDE. (I don't have any instance of Personal Edition installed to test.)
