Steps to reproduce:
Expected: The filter is (temporarily) unchecked, overriding your preferences.
Actual: The filter is checked, always enforcing the settings you made in your preferences.
@Mattflaschen-WMF, @Catrope: Given that rMWaa063f4c5a19: Back-end of new RecentChanges page, refactoring is a rather large change, that was deployed recently and touches the code that is probably responsible for this bug, can you please double-check the change?
I have to go run an errand now, but when I get back (in 45-60 mins) I'll look into this.

Checking/unchecking boxes for on Watchlist page overrides Watchlist preferences. Checked in testwiki (after beta feature 'New filters for edit review' was deployed), and in wmf.16.
Also, checked Contributions page. Selecting/deselecting options function as expected.
