Fresh install of Yosemite forgets Caps-lock mapping to Control

Hi,

For years I've been mapping my caps-lock to control via System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys.

With this fresh install of Yosemite, I've noticed that it resets itself to defaults. It has happened 2-3 times, and I think it has something to do with hibernation/long terms of sleep thus far. In other words, I set caps-lock to be control like I normally do. Everything is fine until I, say, leave my computer asleep for half a day, then caps-lock is back to caps-lock after waking up the computer.

Anyone have a similar problem with Yosemite forgetting to set Caps lock to control (or another key for that matter)?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I have this problem as well but it only with my external keyboard. I have a MBP 15", Late 2011. The built-in keyboard seems to remember that caps lock should map to control. But it forgets that the external keyboard should have this mapping as well.
