It seems to me that PDF settings (marks, bleed, single/double page etc) are no longer saved with the document (or otherwise may just be ignored under certain circumstances). Instead there seems to be some »session wide« behaviour regarding this, so that the settings of the first opened document of a session (or its then changed settings) will be kept active for any other documents open or to be opened.
