I wonder if this is related to

when I'm already in text fill mode, M-x toggle-text-mode-auto-fill turns it
on although it's already on, and I have to issue the command again...

Is there one command to turn it off given it's already on? I don't know how
long I have been seeing this but it is certainly happening in 24.2.1.
