So, what I did was

When MailMate asks for the preferences, cfprefsd then had to reload
them from disk.
At least that is my interpretation of what is going on. In my very
limited searching, I didn't see a way to tell cfprefsd to reload the
settings.
I have never needed to do step 3. Not even if I did step 2 before step
1, but to be honest I have never read up on the details of how this is
working (and how/why it could fail). Your theory makes sense, but users
do not (at least not in general) have your problem. I don't know why.
In any case, I've seen other developers introduce a URL scheme for
setting/clearing (hidden) preferences. Eventually I should do that as
well since it would be much more user friendly. This would definitely
not require killing `cfprefsd`.
