On OSX, the menu item to quit is Gnucash>Quit Gnucash.

I just tested it, and quitting with the "red-x circle" quits properly, with both the currently-open file and preference settings properly saved. (That was on Gnucash-Intel-2.2.9.4). Perhaps you're using Fink or MacPorts with X11 instead of Quartz.

The third way to quit is with Command-Q. Quitting from the Dock doesn't work at present, though Force Quitting does -- but that *will* lose any preference changes.
