The logic of alsactl is to restore the state from /etc/asound.state if it is valid. It seems like the set_controls() function in alsactl/state.c returns an error code for a reason. Could you try to compile the latest alsa-utils snapshot (http://www.alsa-project.org/snapshot/) and run './alsactl -d restore' in alsa-utils/alsactl directory? A warning (fail reason) should be printed.
