Why does Visual Studio automatically repair "client application services"?

I have a solution consisting of several class library projects and a Windows service project. When I open the project settings for a Windows service project and (accidentally) on the Services tab, Visual Studio insists on automatically checking the Enable Client Application Services checkbox.

The effect of this is that it will add a link to System.Web.Extensions, and also insert some parts into app.config. Unchecking the box again will not delete the link. However, it will delete the generated configuration, although it will also delete some unrelated configuration that was there before.

Why does he insist on ticking this flag, and can I make him not do this? The HELP documentation for the Settings tab does not mention the "auto-select" behavior.

This is Visual Studio 2010 targeting .Net 3.5.

At least one other person has the same problem, unfortunately, without any permission: http://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/visual-studio-2010-keeps-enabling-7689.aspx

This, in turn, is related to the Microsoft Connect problem, but for some reason they do not allow access to older reports: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/570166
