Okay, that's weird..
I logged in as guest, and it works as you described (the sidebar is restored on each close/open).
I like though that mine stays hidden, apart from the anoying fact that I have to press F9 twice. There must be some inconsistency somewhere?
I might have changed some flags in dconf to make it stay hidden. I've attached a screenshot from "org -> gnome -> nautilus -> window state".
