Tested with KodiSetup-20170717-b22184d1de-Krypton-x86 and KodiSetup-20170721-c0b9baf458-master-x86, issue is still present on both.

No, different PC with different screens, there is no common elements, i've tested at home, at work, on a PC friend. Each time it's 100% reproductible, whatever the PC or the screen is or anything is. Yes, indeed there is a common element : It's the Windows version. Otherwise, i don't understand how you can't reproduce it. Until now, on whatever PC i've been able to test, it's always reproducible. Change video calibration settings, exit Kodi, restart Kodi, the settings are lost (or reseted).
You have allready several log files in post #12.
The trac is 17433.
If i've time, i'll add logs file from a PC at work (so, totaly different form home... ^_^).
In fact, it needs 2 files i think. The first file when you configure.
The second file when you restart.

Exit is made properly by the menu.
Yes, i know. I don't reboot the computer neither change the frame rate. I just exit Kodi via the Exit command, and restart it.

As I said, take a look at guisettings.xml

Yes it is saved, it starts at line 541.
EDIT are you 100% sure you can't turn off overscan on your TV, as that is the proper fix for this!

Ok.
Several test.
If i modify the video calibration settings, the new value are saved, and immediatly used, while i'm not exiting Kodi.
If i exit Kodi and restart, the settings in the files are not lost, but Kodi doesn't care of them.
And when i re-enter in the video calibratoin settings, the position of the cursor are at full screen, not the last position saved in the file.
And i don't agree that turning off the overscan is the proper fix, the proper fix is to configure the overscan in the settings (that what they are here for). And turning off disable several features i need.

You are wrong on that last point, it is a pain in the backside that modern TVs even overscan when it is a solution for a problem that no longer exists.
My linux machine running 17.3 uses the settings next time it starts. For some reason your settings, though saved, aren't being seen on startup.

I dont know if anybody has suggested this but a very common way to get settings to save for kodi when its not working is to just click the power icon in the bottom left and select exit. This usually gets it to save the settings (even if it does cause kodi to crash on most versions of windows).
Its kind of a archaic method but it actually does work for a lot of things.
