To me it looks like there are currently two conflicting locations for the arc start/end values in the preferences
a) group id="shapes"
b) eventcontext id="arc"
(0.46 had them only within the "arc" event context). Any start/end values (other then '0') that are stored inside the "arc" event context cause this wrong behavior and can't be reset within the GUI.

Looking at the SVN commits between the two version Alvin mentions, there was that last big commit of the preferences refactoring in revision 20019 ("Finalize preferences refactoring") that *maybe* could have broken the old 'sticky controls' feature and *maybe* introduced this 'sticky tiny arc' bug of the ellipse tool controls.

Proposing to mark this report as duplicate of bug #371386.
