Could be a corrupt preferences database... have you tried doing a
'factory wipe' on it?  If you don't want the nuclear option... maybe
digging around in the apps and find whatever looks like it might be the
'app' that provides that functionality and wipe its data.  You might
have to reset more than just the wallpaper at that point, but it might
also start saving it from that point forward.
