I haven't seen that happen, so something odd is going on. When I set a 
password manually, it always sticks.

But try setting the password on the stack manually and don't set it in 
the standalone builder. If you are including it in the Copy Files pane, 
I'm not sure the SB will do anything other than just move it next to the 
engine, so try handling the protection yourself.
