Okay, i have more played with it and here what i can say (i hope to be clear):

- i have a .emacs-places since i used "save place in files" formerly

- following  the help  about save-place,  i have added  the following  to my
  .emacs : (setq-default save-place t)

- when i start emacs,  Options / "Save place in files" is  checked, but if i
  open a file that is mentioned  in .emacs-places it does *not* retrieve the
  point

- I uncheck Option / "Save place..." and after that moment, despite that the
  option  is  unchecked[1] or  checked  again  (i  verified that  save-place
  variable  is  updated  correctly),  at   opening  of  a  file  present  in
  .emacs-places, Emacs *does* retrieve the point

- i have  carefully verified that the  visited file was closed  and that its
  buffer was not only buried between tests

- if i close Emacs and restart it i can replay it at will


Footnotes: 
[1] under OSX (Emacs Carbon)  save place works just after unchecking option,
    but i have  just tested on my GNU/Linux Debian box  that make save place
    working i must recheck it. Then it works disregarding of the checkbox.

I hope tho have given a better description of that strange behavior.

Sébastien Kirche
