   "multisession" does convey a lot -- these objects are extra-special in
   that they'll discover when they've been changed by a different Emacs (if
   enabled), too, and "multisession" also says something about that.

   Is there a shorter work that conveys the same thing?  I.e., that the
   value might be coming from a different Emacs, and that it's persistent,
   too?

That's a lot to convey in a single word, let alone one that is shorter.
You could consider an acronym, but that risks being obscure.
