I can reproduce it in nightly, but I don't think it's a bug. Shouldn't it be like that?

I don't think so as the user requested just to set Firefox now as the default browser and not to check always for it. In my opinion it isn't here very clean to set 2 options while the user requested only one.
I can reproduce it in nightly version 39.0a1 but I also don't think that it's a bug.

I think it's because if you chose it to be the default browser, you want it to stay default. If another program becomes the default later, it may have not been your intention (for example, an accidental agreement to another browser's question).

Indeed - this is intentional behavior per bug 1041516.
