Should not happen now, I fixed it in ucw_dev:

If it still behaves funny, please give exact set of steps (e.g. define
checbox, set (value checkbox) to t, render checbox, render other page
(without submitting form), render checkbox -- that was what made
checkboxes unset before) to reproduce and I'll look into this -- this
bug bit me some time ago, and maybe I left out some cases when working
around it.

Sorry for delay in replying, I upgraded my system recently and
couldn't get darcs to work for few days :( that's what happens when
you use Linux distro targetted for this distro's developers (even if
you're in the target geoup)...
