Grasping at straws here... If it mysteriously just started happening, maybe a firmware update has occurred and that has a bug? My dealer said only that "updates to the remote happen automatically, over Bluetooth, when connected to a product via BT, in standby." I don't know if that's true, and if so, how to tell.
Does anybody know how to command a BeoRemote One BT to display its firmware version? If we could get that info, then maybe we could eliminate that as a possible source of problem, because I bought mine around the same time you posted your BL50-choosing-what-to-buy post. If they are identical, that isn't the problem because I guarantee mine has not been updated (I only use it in Beo4 mode and it has never been paired with anything).
If updates are occurring, then reprogramming your remote after a factory reset might be a good idea: Anybody who had, e.g. Oppo or Sony Blu-Ray players with configuration memory & disc data caches tripped across bugs because the layout of the storage was supposed to be unchanged (or adjusted at first-power-cycle) but wasn't. Worth a try if nothing else helps.

List, then select settings, and the bottom of the options will be version which provides some info.
Since posting my question, the problem has not recurred. LOL
Not much help, but I experienced this same problem a while back when I was considering buying a second br1. My br1 reset pretty much every time I switched between my bv8 and essense. I was surprised no one had complained, especially since you had talked about using the remote in this way. I decided that it must be something peculiar in my setup. Needless to say, I didn't buy the second remote because two consistently working remotes is better than one flakey remote.
I cannot find the software version on my remote.

If your problem went away, you win! But I still hope someone tells us how to figure out when/whether the remote was updated & to what... I don't even know if what my dealer said about automagic updates was the case.
Stan: I cannot find the software version on my remote.
[Post lost to "Moderation" weirdness... Briefly:] My remote does not have a "Version" item inside LIST / Settings. Suspect this is because the version is actually of the *device* for which the LIST button is programmed, and not the remote itself? But maybe it's just because I have never paired BT, only IR'ed. Would still appreciate anybody who knows for sure (& how updates work) to chime in...
Mine is paired with my Eclipse and doesn't display a version under List / settings.
Sorry, late to this, but mine has been doing the same over the last month or so.
In my bedroom, I have an Avant Mk 1 55 and an A9 MK2.
The BR1 (IR) is used to control both, but generally lives paired to the Avant.
Recently, mysteriously, every other day or so it will switch back to the A9 as its default.
I changed the batteries on the BR1 about a month ago, and pretty sure I noticed an update going through on the unit.
But yes, i get the same behaviour - not only does it switch itself to the A9, but I often see the Bang & Olufsen words on the display.
I'd complain, but that would-be a waste of time.
I also recently changed the batteries - my dealer says imperfect battery connection may be the issue, or that using Duracells sometimes causes an issue, as opposed to Panasonic batteries. I dismissed this as nonsense though.
His only other suggestion was to rename my A9, so that it wouldn't be alphabetically first in the product list, which is what the BR1 defaults to on resets.
I have not noticed the same issue on my BR1 in my lounge which controls my BV12-65 / BS 4 combination.
Razlaw:I have a BR1. It is configured to have Beo4 AV as a source to control my BV7 and Masterlink products, Core to control my Core, and BL50 to control my 50s. It has worked flawlessly since I purchased it. Recently it has developed an occasional problem. I will have it in Beo 4 mode, turn on a product, the screen then goes blank on the BR1, it appears to reboot and says Bang and Olufsen on the screen, then comes back on in Core mode. I have replaced the batteries. Any thoughts?

here you go to show the version ...

By any chance are you using the magnetic wall holder?
The wall holder has a tendency to briefly disconnect the battery contact with the IR-only remote -- which would cause a similar result to what you're experiencing.
