I noticed that yesterday, Its kind of a time delay thing when you submit your changes the script executes and loads in your options to use for display and displays with them, it then stores your new settings in the DB.
If the settings were to be saved first then the script act on them you would see them imediatly but I guess it doesn't.
Its hard to say how easy it would be to fix, and its probably not a high priority seeing as generaly you won't be changing your theme that often. Personaly what I would like to see is some kind of preview page so you can just look at them all and pick the one you like best.

---If it doesn't fit use a bigger hammer
