It is reproducible apparently. I don't know if it's really a bug but
it's confusing, especially for inexperienced users.

Open any folder with enough folders and files to browse different pages,
then go in Nautilus' preferences, check "Use Compact Layout" then close
preferences and browse a few folders with other folders or files in
them. Icons are displayed with compact layout. Fine. Then return into
Nautilus prefs, turn off the compact layout option, then browse the
folders you visited before : They are still displayed with compact
layout but not those you didn't open with compact layout on.

I realized that if you right click in the Nautilus window and go to the 
"Arrange Items" menu, the option "Compact Layout" is automatically checked for 
all the folders you visited before.
Maybe it's done on purpose but in my humble opinion I think it's confusing for 
the user.
