It goes back to the defaults because nothing is holding the
tty open.  So, stty(1) opens it to change the settings, changes
the settings, and then closes it.  Last close, back to defaults.

Try using something like cat(1) or the shell to open/hold open
the device, and then see what happens.

eg:
        % cat /dev/tty04 &
        [1] 65432
        % stty -f /dev/tty04 speed 19200
        9600
        % stty -f /dev/tty04 speed
        19200
        % kill %1
        % stty -f /dev/tty04 speed
        9600
