I've had the same problem. I'll create a scene (for example a bent) with a certain section and layers turned on, then I'll create another (a different bent) with different layers turned on. When I go back to scene #1 it won't seem to remember what section was being used, nor (I don't think) does it remember which layers were turned on. I got frustrated with this some time ago, so I frankly haven't tried it in the last few months so the memory is a tad foggy.
