Yes, it turns out that my directions did not correct the issue. As I discovered when I could not get my own installation to default as "Crescendo Open (Red)". Here is the real answer, guaranteed to work, at least for this part of the issue.
It turns out there is a Special Reset that can PERMANENTLY REPROGRAM THE ORGAN!
Loading the Organ like normal, on the Pedal Matrix page use the Mouse to set ALL of the Pedals exactly the way you want them to be at Start-Up. Probably all five Swell Pedals fully OPEN (Red) and Pedal Number Six, assigned to Crescendo, fully CLOSED (Black).
Now click on Menu --> Engine --> Advanced --> Stop Audio/Midi
Everything goes blank.
Now click on Menu --> Engine --> Advanced --> Start Audio/Midi
And everything comes back... just the way it just was. This is now your New Default.
Unload the Organ, Load it again, and see the New Default in action! All Swells Open (Red) and Crescendo Closed (Black). Just the way it was supposed to be! Problem Number One now solved.
This Special Reset can also re-program the Pedal Matrix, if that is desired, such that any particular set-up can become the Default (with regards to General Cancel and with regards to re-loading the Organ).
*** On other Sample Sets, certain other Parameters can be similarly re-programmed in this way... defining a new status as General Cancel and as the Default on re-loading. ***

And with your new, improved Default, the Crescendo Pedal will ALWAYS be closed when saving any registration, just as long as the Crescendo Pedal is never touched after loading the Organ, until AFTER you have saved whatever Registrations you wish to save for that Session.

Better yet, loading one of the "bad" Combinations and then saving it (elsewhere) in this new Environment may cause the new save to be a good one. As it seems that you were already discovering.
Assuming this works as hoped for, then you can save ALL 70 of your existing Stepper combinations, by just bumping them all up by one in the sequence. Load #70, activate Setter (found at lower left of the Registration Pop-Up), and advance Stepper by one. This saves #70 to #71, hopefully in a corrected fashion.
Then turn off the Setter, and load #69. Save this to #70 in the same fashion. An so on until done. If desired, you could then move them all right back again to where they were before, hopefully all corrected now. #1 to #0, #2 to #1, and so on until done.
Good Luck!
