Undismissed notifications disappear on soft reset?

I'm not sure if this is just me, a 6.5 thing, a MightyROM thing, or a HTC thing... But in previous ROMs I've used (such as stock 6.1 ROM), if a reminder, task, or whatever fires, and then you soft reset your device, the waiting reminder reappears. Right now, if I have a waiting reminder and my device resets, the reminder dismisses.

The only exception is if the device is reset in the middle of an appointment, then the appointment's reminder fires again if it hasn't been dismissed.

This is bad because if something causes my device to reset, I may lose a notification of an awaiting task or appointment!

Can anybody else confirm? Or better yet, provide a workaround/resolution for this?

Easy way to reproduce: Create an appointment, set a reminder for the appointment, let it fire. Make sure the current time is past the end time of the appointment. Soft-reset. The notification will disappear and never fire again... You will never know you even had an appointment if your phone reboots (planned or unplanned) while you are away from it...

EDIT: Did some more registry digging and found HKLM\system\shell\notification\oem\reminder where EnableAutoDismiss was set to 1 (presumably enabled). Hmmm. Automatic dismiss? Sounds promising. Set it to 0. Created a task with reminder. Let it fire. Soft reset. Task reminder chimed again where before it would automatically dismiss! Looks like this may be it! WTF?! Who the hell wants waiting reminders to just magically disappear for no reason if your phone crashes/reboots?! HTC!!! *shakes fist* Going to do some more testing. This may not cover all scenarios. But so far so good.
