If you check the box near 'Show terms as links', save your changes and then return to the configuration page the checkbox is unchecked again. There are no changes in the output if you view a specific node of that content type.

Confirmed that the checkbox does not save preferences, and not even sure what it's purpose is since under Administer > Content Types > Your CCK type > Display fields, you can configure each of your Taxonomy fields to display As Text or As Link. Choosing As Link will predictably turn your terms into links.

One possible use for the "save term as link" checkbox may be to accommodate the save option "save in cck table".

The method you described creates links to nodes with like taxonomy terms, but saving as a tag is not working right now (see issue http://drupal.org/node/141225). The end result is that if you save a field value (as a cck table), clicking on the value as a link will not return any matches, since it is looking in the "term_node" table, not the cck table.

Note: only tested on autocomplete field.

this option has been removed (now totally) form the field settings, because it's a matter of display settings (see tab in content admin pages). There you can choose between show "as text" and "as link"
