[edit] the hsetroot statement in .setbackground has an -image argument which is not recognised.

Since .setbackground is in home dir and -image has been replaced with -fill, then once set via Wallpaper or edit and a backup is performed, should be OK. -image should not return unless from existing backup.
I should mention this in files that have changed.

This is getting interesting... I do have persistent /home but am not backing it up, so .setbackground is not backed up or restored. I thought it would remain as is for the next boot but somehow it reverts... is it being overwritten freshly each time?

Check if there is a leftover mydata.tgz somewhere that is writing over your persistent /home.
jur:
No it's not that. I found the reason - in .xsession, the statement
setbackground image /opt/backgrounds/"$BACKGROUND"
results in the image being written into the .setbackground on each boot. If I change image to full, it works over boots.
roberts:
Correct. You must be using a boot option to set background. Good find. Thanks.
