I experimented, placing several other holds (both current titles & pre-orders) and couldn't get the site to do it again. Hopefully it was some kind of glitch and not a sign of things to come as I'd find it annoying to have to fill it out every time I place a hold.

I've had to occasionally do it ever since I started using Overdrive. About every 6 months or so. I don't do a lot of holds so it's hard for me to judge the time between. I think it saves the address for a certain amount of time, then it needs to be entered again. Maybe a cookie? Or maybe the time just varies by library system.
