This is a KDVI bug, the KDVI authors have been notified of the problem.

You don't have to use a MasterDocument settings if you are using a project, 
Kile will figure it out automatically. Only if Kile does not detect the 
masterdocument should you use a manually set MasterDocument.

I have tried to reproduce the bug and found the following: Kile only remembers 
the setting the first time after you manually selected the MasterDocument. 
The second time the setting is lost. I will try to fix this.

best,
