Any further migration which wants to enable the 'dirty-bitmaps' migration capability must set it's own mapping. QEMU doesn't have a way to revert to the default mapping once you set it once. It's not a problem for us though, we always want to set the mapping because the default one must be from our side considered always wrong. We don't guarantee that the node names of storage match on the destination side of the migration and the default mapping expects that.
