System Information
Windows 7 64bits Nvidia GTX 580

Blender Version
At least since 2.74, possibly earlier
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
When the interface option 'Rotate around selection' is active rotating view in curve edit mode changes handle types from vector to free.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Default scene
[Shift+A] Add Bezier curve
Change viewport into Wireframe mode
Add some extrusion value (just for visual feedback)
Curve extrusion should be segmented because of curvature
Tab into edit mode
Select only the two center handles
Press - change all handle types to 'Vector'
Immediately after, without deselecting vertex rotate view with [middle-mouse button]
Exit edit mode
Curve should remain un-segmented
Now go to [CTRL+Alt+U] User Preferences>Interface>and activate option 'Rotate Around Selection'
Repeat steps 6 through 10
You will notice immediately after orbiting handle type changes from vector to free

If you tab out of edit mode you will notice curve is segmented again

Finally got to the bottom of this, I has been killing me, now I know I am not crazy.
This was reported some time ago on #44790 to @mont29 but I was unable to reproduce this reliably as didn't realize back then what was triggering the problem, you can see some animated gifs and example file there.
