I had the same issue and had trouble finding a solution. Your post helped!
I tried changing the account order which did stop the specified account from
changing when hitting "apply". However, my original account's mail also went
to the new specified account. I wound up deleting the profile and setting up
a new profile with a new pst file. Readded the mail accounts and the rules
and it works like a charm now!
