Solver params are ignored without push

[ole-thoeb]

While trying to disable mbqi by disabling both smt.mbqi and auto_config I noticed the following:
When I set the params on the solver using Z3_solver_set_params (without a push), the options are ignored (enabling tracing and checking the log shows mbqi activity). If I add a push (Z3_solver_push) to the program then the options are respected (no mbqi takes place).
Here the release notes mention something similar (push is required for the command to take effect).

z3/RELEASE_NOTES.md

Line 46 in 8c5abdf

produces a model where x = 10. We use (push) to ensure that z3 doesn't run a

Setting the parameters globally via Z3_global_param_set works as expected (regardless of push).

Is this a known quirk, bug, or working as intended? I appreciate any insight!
