Yes, you've clearly got the cause right.

I'm fairly certain though, that this happens upon opening MM2 after it's 
been quit, so I don't think it's me accidentally hitting some key, 
unless MM reads something from the keyboard (like a command-key press) 
while it's opening, but that seems odd to me.

That was weird. The View menu is back to its old self and I see that 
the "Hide message preview" was once again off. I couldn't tell, in 
part, because the window was extended down off the bottom of my screen 
(maybe because I have different two-screen set-ups at home and at 
work?). In any case, I selected that option again and now all is well.


Still, those prefs changed on their own, AFAICT.


This happened to me too recently. Messages were suddenly being marked as 
“read” as soon as I single-clicked them. I just had to tell it to 
hide the preview again (even though it wasn’t visible to begin with).


Now, this was right after launching for the first time on a new machine 
after Migration Assistant moved everything over, so maybe some weirdness 
should be expected. Still though, why just that one preference out of 
the hundreds that made it over just fine?
