I don't remember what this behaviour was in older versions since I just now started to change scene units more often but I found that in Max 2016 scene units settings are not stored with the scene. So often when I start rendering, I find that my cameras are zoomed in/out a bit or that some lights are very bright or dim. This is a real pain since I have to remember which scene was made in what units. Can someone else confirm?
I'm using Max 2016 SP1 EXT1.

They absolutely ARE saved with the scene. Create 2 scenes which use different system units. Keep loading them alternately and you should get the Units Mismatch warning on every load, pretty much proof positive that the units ARE stored in the scenes. Unless, of course, you manually disabled that feature in the System Units Setup dialog (Respect System Units in Files).
Note. That setting is system wide - it is NOT saved with each scene.
It has always been on by default, as far as I can remember, in every release I've ever used. I can only assume either you (or someone with access to your system) turned it off - perhaps to see what it did - and never turned it back on.
