Thanks for the report.  However, the current behavior is intentional.
While all of the other options are cached (they affect configure results),
we intentionally filter out --quiet (or --silent) because it does not
affect configure results and makes more sense as a per-run option.  In
other words, we are catering to the ability to attempt a silent
configuration, but allow the user to rerun a verbose attempt in order to
determine why the silent run misbehaved.

If you truly always want silent runs, then you should write a shell alias
or shell script wrapper.
