When I adjust the body centre, it's usually because I want it at 0,0,0 which would explain why I haven't noticed it. I wonder if the problem could have something to do with memorisation. If you memorise the figure after adjusting the centre but before saving it, maybe that will reset those mysterious default values. Of course, it will also screw up the IK settings.
