when i pick a membership type as a guest and then start over( mainpage -> new account), i'm not asked to select a membership type.
i think this is a bug of something...

You indicated that you attached a patch, but I don't see any. Perhaps you don't understand how to choose the status of issues? The patch options indicate that you have attached one, not that one is needed.

Anyway, that is an unfortunate side effect of the technique used. One for which I have yet to discover a way to fix. The short version of the problem is that a global variable for the anonymous user is set when they begin the registration process and select a membership type. That global variable cannot be unset until the registration process is complete. You should find that although you cannot select the membership type again once you've aborted, that the membership type remains selected and will route you to the proper pageroute when that stage comes along. Clearing your cookies should let you select again since the session that contained that choice would no longer be associated with your browser.

I'm marking this as by design, since it is.
