I have experienced a similar problem; reopening the Options->Room menu causes the Bonus room box to be unticked (after having ticked it previously). However, when I playtested it, it wasn't a bonus room (no extra lives and no colour-cycling).
The reason I returned to the Room Options menu was to tick the 'No Kamikaze' option, in order to have both options switched on in the same room. I thought I would see what would happen if Willy collected all the items in a multi-item room, and then died before leaving the room! The result: many extra lives, which eventually spilled over beyond the status bar and caused corruption across the range of addresses #58xx-#5Fxx (including the attribute file for the entire screen, the primary and secondary attribute buffers for the playing area and the stack - the latter of which eventually led to a system reset!!)
