Hi Gleb, thanks for asking. Indeed it is - see the following scenario I just
executed:

Scenario:
- KDE Gear 23.08.4, framworks 5.114.0, plasma 5.27.10, qt 5.15.12 = ports tree
as of Feb. 10
- Logged into KDE
- Most applications set to US keyboard layout
- Thunderbird set to DE keyboard layout
- Change thunderbird to US keyboard layout

Result:
- The layout save file did not change:
[0]% ll .local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 martin bi 408 11 Nov. 16:57
.local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml
[0]% 

Scenario (continued):
- Use KDE "start button" and select "Herunterfahren" ("shutdown")
- Wait for complete power down
- Restart the computer and log in again

Result:
- Thunderbird uses the DE keyboard layout
- The layout save file is still unchanged:
[0]% ll .local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 martin bi 408 11 Nov. 16:57
.local/share/kded5/keyboard/session/layout_memory.xml
[0]% 

Conclusions:
- Changes to the layout are saved neither immediately nor when closing the
session.
- I don't remember why the layout save file changed on Nov. 11; it is possible
that I edited it manually.
- It could also be the case that sometimes it really records changes, but I am
not sure about it, it would be very rare, and I do not know what could cause
it.
