It seems that I found the problem. I've added the user to the groups sound and pulse, deleted .config/pulse and .pulse/ and logged out and back in. After that the volume is saved normally. So, the actual bug is that pulseaudio silently fails to store the settings instead of showing the message "incorrect permissions" or whatever. This may be an intended behavior of course, but in such distro as Ubuntu it should be more friendly. Another thing is that previous upgrades didn't break the things but upgrade to 14.04 did.
