Plus, I would argue that if one setting has randomly changed, then what else has changed? Better safe than sorry.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy this "some bits flip and values get changed to preserver other settings". It doesn't make any sense for it to switch to 192 to 172 for any reason. It's not like some random bits were flipped and it just happened to land on another internal IP range. Surely if it was going to reset to anything, it would be the default of 192. I think it was definitely a glitch of some kind, but I can't think of any reason why it would be programmed to do that.
