The logic of alsactl is to restore the state from /etc/asound.state if it is valid. It seems like the set_controls() function in alsactl/state.c returns an error code for a reason.
Could you try to compile the latest alsa-utils snapshot (http://www.alsa-project.org/snapshot/) and run './alsactl -d restore' in alsa-utils/alsactl directory? A warning (fail reason) should be

I've attached a bash shell script that I used to download, configure, compile, and run alsactl. I've also attached a .log file with stdout and stderr that I got while executing the script. Thanks. I've added more debug print lines to state.c. Could you rerun your script and append also '/etc/asound.state' file and output from 'alsa-info.sh --no-upload' to your output tarballs? Send me this tarball privately or just an URL to this list.
Looks similar to my problem: http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg31422.html
your problem is "alsactl restore" become "alsactl init" when the number of controls is more than those in state file. "Hardware is initialized using a guess method" instead of restore from asound.state alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore Unknown hardware: "VIA8237" "Realtek ALC658D" "AC97a:414c4781" "0x147b" "0x1415" Hardware is initialized using a guess method
