Indeed: I've retrieved an old one that refuses to obey to the figure style: LotusHairA3, except if I delete it and I reload it immediately, it's only after this that the figure's display settings is respected.
That's something we can sometimes see with clothes, too: if they don't conform correctly, delete it and reload it.

Probably something buggy from Poser at the time.

I tried doing that...loading it, deleting it, reloading it...on 4 different hairs from that "era":  A3 Ponytail, A3 Lotus, Leah hair, and Girl Ultimate Ponytail.  For the first 3, it did seem to work...they would reload in either wireframe or some other display style, but I could acutally change the style to textured and it worked.  But there was no effect on the Ultimate Ponytail...it still loaded in wireframe and could not be changed. Probably something more going on with the settings in that file.

I just chalk it up to being the "wild west" early days of content creation and not having any real standards when it came to making the files.
