Hello Ruben,
Actually this is not a bug, but rather how the JSON.stringify method works. As stated in the setOptions article: JSON.stringify() cannot serialize function references (e.g. event handlers), so if stringification is used for the retrieved Grid state, all configuration fields, which represent function references, will be lost. You have two options to avoid this limitation: use a custom implementation to serialize JavaScript functions, or add the function references back to the deserialized configuration object before passing it to the setOptions method.
An http://dojo.telerik.com/UtUHu example demonstrates how to add the function references back to the deserialized configuration object before passing it to the setOptions method.
