Pattern changes after reopening the file.

I was trying to remain the posiition of the pattern applied to an object after I moved (or copied and moved) the object, so I selected the option "Transform Pattern Tiles" < General < Preference or even selecedt the option in the Transformation panel. The result was what I wanted, the moved/copied and moved object has identical pattern style as the original object.
However, after I saved the file, closed it, and then reopened it, the position of the pattern of the moved object somehow changed.
To demonstrate this issue, I've created a pattern like the following:
I applied this pattern to a sqaure, which appears like this:
I ensure both settings in the Preference and Transformation Panel, and then I dragged the square while holding the Alt to create a duplicate in aother position, which of course resulted in an identical square exactly like the above image.
Now the file has two identical squares in it, I saved the file and closed it, and then I reopend the file.
The second square now appears like this: , in which the pattern has different distribution style than previously. The only way I know to solve this is to expand the object and then the pattern style will be consistent after being moved.
I'm just wondering, is it a bug, the way it is, or did I just overlook any settings?
The file I used to test is in the attachment for you to see for yourself. I suggest you copy more than a few and save the file, close the file and then reopen it. Because sometimes you might just get lucky.
Note: I've seen this issue in both Illustrator CS and CS2.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for replying. Let me rephrase my question:
Before moving the object with pattern, I did check the option "Transorm Pattern Tiles".
The result is what I want: a duplicate with exactly the same pattern distribution hehavior. But after I close the file and reopoened it,
the pattern distribution on the duplicate object somehow changed and different from the original object.
I tried to delete AIPres file. But the issue remains.
