Is it something similar to this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740497 ?

I don't get those issues here. If you can, it would be useful to check 
exactly what's happen with a debugger.

Let's start with the first issue.

1. Create a file foo.txt
2. Open it with Anjuta running 'anjuta -c -n -f foo.txt'
3. Select Edit->Preferences->Preferred plugin, click Forget selected plugin
4. Close Anjuta window

5. Open it with Anjuta running 'anjuta -c -n -f foo.txt'
6. You should have a dialog asking you which editor to use, choose one 
and check Remember this selection.
7. You should see your file opened
8. Close Anjuta window

9. Open it with Anjuta running 'anjuta -c -n -f foo.txt'
10. You should directory see your file opened with the selected editor
11. In Edit->Preferences->Preferred plugin, you should see it
12. Open dconf-editor
13. The key org.gnome.anjuta.remembered-plugins should be 
anjuta-editor:EditorPlugin,anjuta-sourceview:SourceviewPlugin,=anjuta-editor:EditorPlugin; 
if you use Scintilla as default.

Could you do all these steps and check where it fails, I suppose at step 10.
