The man page for snmpd.conf says:

   ...
   This directive should be placed into the  /var/net-
   snmp/snmpd.conf  file  instead  of the other normal
   locations.  The reason is that the  information  is
   read  from  the  file  and then the line is removed
   (eliminating the storage of the master password for
   that  user)  and  replaced  with  the  key  that is
   derived from it.  ...

But the only time I see /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf being rewritten is if I kill the agent and start it again.

Yes, that's current behaviour. The persistent file is only saved on shutdown. However, I'd tend to agree that it'd be useful to be able to force the *running* agent to save this file. Currently not implemented, though, AFAICS.
