Is this something specific to this beta image or was it always like this
before?

You'll be able to keep your persistent volume when upgrading to 4.0
using the "manual upgrade" procedure:

Hmmm... That's surprising. Do you mind sending us a WhisperBack report
about this issue in particular. See:

This way we'll have more info about your hardware and this will help us
understand how we could fix this in Tails.
