More testing shows that the setting is still not saved, it just now stays at a default I am happy with.  The Shuffle setting also doesn't get save.  All other Mythtv settings are working as expected so I don't have a database permission issue.

Looking at the code I wonder if the problem is caused by the settings only being saved in the MusicPlayer class's destructor.  This combined with the delayed delete using Qt's deleteLater() function may be causing a race condition failure.
