Ok, here's some output. ;)
xerxes root # hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 1 (on)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 14946/255/63, sectors = 240121728, start = 0
[note: i'm assuming this next bit is what happens during a reboot - i.e. the
service is stopped, then restarted next bootup]
xerxes root # /etc/init.d/hdparm restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.

xerxes root # hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 1 (on)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 14946/255/63, sectors = 240121728, start = 0
So it appears that hdparm isn't what is resetting the keepsettings flag, so what is?
:oS
