I haven't looked at the addon's code, but based on this part of your description, I would guess that it's author is lazy and doesn't actually saved any positions themeslves in saved variables, but just tells WoW "these frames are movable" and lets the game keep track of their positions. This has several very annoying shortcomings, one of which is, as you discovered, that if you disable the addon, the game discards any saved position info for its frames.

If this is what's going on, there's nothing you as a user can do to "fix" this -- the system isn't broken, it just isn't a very good system.

However, you could install the third-party oUF Movable Frames plugin, which will save the frame positions in saved variables, and remember them even if you disable the addon.
