Some more info for you, in case it may help you fixing it.

I restored the gnubgautorc file from backups several times
and GnuBG replaced it every time I started it.

I also restored the file while GnuBG was open, hoping that
it would leave the file alone but the next time I started
GnuBG, it replaced the file again anyway.

I didn't test if it would do the same in CLI.
