We do always behave that way.

I guess it depends whether we take a loose or strict interpretation of
the spec.  It doesn't say the result of the query must match the value
at creation, and it does say that unpreserved buffers _may_ lose their
contents at any time, but it doesn't say that the server is allowed to
silently promote GLX_PRESERVED_CONTENTS to True.

Still, I doubt there's a client in the world that would notice, and it's
certainly less code.  v2 to follow.
