If you add a texture pack when creating a world and then try to change the settings, all of the packs you added will be reset. If you create a world without changing any settings, your packs will be kept. No matter how many times you try to reset it, it will reset unless you create a new world. It should be possible to simply change the texture pack settings and not reset the texture pack.
