The documentation for 'sol' does mention "buffer changing commands" which
could ambiguously be interpreted to mean that it should take
effect when a file is opened for the first time (after all, it's
changing from no-loaded-buffer to a now-loaded-buffer). I'm not sure
I'd go so far as to call it a bug, but perhaps an unfortunate
inconsistency or documentation ambiguity.

And I suspect that anybody who flies with 'nosol' set would be irked
by the behavior much as you mention.
