I also have the same problem. The funny thing is for the first time C3D 2012 was installed and then again after reformatting my computer this worked fine. Now I've done a clean Install of 2012 and the setting don't hold.

The solution that I found after much searching via google, is to "right click" the autodesk Autocad icon either on the desktop or in the startmenu and select "properties" then to remove the text [/p "<<C3D_Imperial>>"] after the .dbx extention in the "Target"

I don't use the default <<C3D_Imperial>> profile. I have another defined profile. But I tried setting the Autosnap setting, exporting the profile, setting the default profile current, deleting my profile, reimporting my profile, setting that current. The settings stayed. I closed and reopened the drawing and they were gone again.
I tried importing and setting an older profile current and making that the default in the startup icon. But it still wont hold the AutoSnap settings. It does seem to be holding the OSnap settings now. So at least that's something.

This solution I'm suggesting will work for the "metric" version as well...Remove the [/p "<<C3D_metric>>"] text from the Target (under the Shortcut Tab) because that is causing the AutoCAD program to open freshly with the named default <<C3D_Metric>> profile settings...once you remove that text string, it will then open with the profile and settings last used.
Either that or change the text string within the " " to the name of the profile you want it to open with Ex: Your profile name is Current_Profile then the string after .dbx should read [/p "Current_Profile"]
I personally prefer simply removing the [/p "default profile name"] text string because then if I should need to change to another profile in the future I won't have to remember to also change it opening properties as well
This is what I currently use:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012\acad.exe" /ld "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012\AecBase.db" /nologo /p "C3D2012 Met ASJ 1.2" /w "Civil 3D"
I've tried recreating the 1.2 profile and also reverting to the 1.1 profile with no results. I can start a new profile from default and re-customize that. But that takes time I don't have right now. I've temporarily fixed it by adding "(SETVAR "AUTOSNAP" 5)(SETVAR "OSMODE" 1)" to the acadddoc.lsp.

I have the same issue. I have deleted the [/p "<<C3D_Imperial>>"] text from Properties but the Options>Drafting>Autosnap settings will not hold. Any further suggestions?
