It wouldn't be possible to persist any settings if there were permission issues, AFAIK.

Not neccessarily, the client could be written in a way to create or access a character ini file under a different directory if it fails to open a handle to the file under the installation path. I believe the version of the client we use was last updated post UAC being introduced to Windows and the SOE devs would have had to deal with this. Not writing character INI files is game breaking, failing to write out screenshots and text logs is not. They probably just came up with a good-enough solution like I described. Try experimenting with changing your user interface i.e. adding hot keys etc without administrator privileges and then run it as administrator.
