Nah, this happens for me too. I don't use the roamin feature at all, but it still resets at each login. I just made a script to change it at signin

It happens when the client can't update the server properly. Sadly, there's nothing that can be done about it.

RE: name change problem
code:
function OnEvent_SigninReady(email){
    if(email==="email@domain.com"){
        Messenger.MyName = "My New Name";
        Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = "My New Personal Message";
    }
}


Obviously replace the relevant parts
