I suggest there is a bug in the xs. I have come across the same thing and
did not manage to find a solution - the 3-parm-version of PeekMessage simply
does not return the messref, it garbles up your program instead. Simple
workaround is, when PeekMessage signals the Message you are looking for is
in the Q, do a GetMessage to get it. Very easy.

The problem I see in your case: if you want to make sure you get notified
before shutdown, you either have to poll PeekMessage at a rather high
frequency (burning resources) or do a GetMessage on that particular ID,
blocking your script for everything else. Maybe you can fork into a new task
that then sits there, patiently waiting for GetMessage to trigger saving the
settings.
