When changing cabs (in this case on a push-pull set, from driving trailer to engine), I would expect the brake settings to remain unchanged.
However, I find that the brakes are somehow completely reset, to such an extent that a full manual brake initiation (Shift-/) is required in order to operate and release the brakes again.
I think it is quite strange that the triple valve state for the whole train goes from Release to Emergency on changing cabs.

This picture shows the brake setting values from the driving trailer just before switching :
