Under certain conditions, it seems that the history entries and/or Brave Search override current default search engine settings. The issue appears to be an edge case but is easily reproducible.
It looks like, even when search suggestions are disabled in the browser, for some reason, after performing the steps below the browser seems to automatically select the first search suggestion at the top of the drop-down, even though its not there. You can see this by observing the History icon appear on the left side of the address bar, the same way it does when you select an option from the search suggestions drop-down.
On restart, the other search engine does stick and it does get applied. Looks like the step where there's an issue during the session is turning off brave://settings/appearance autocomplete suggestions in the address bar with those exact steps.
