Defensive Stance not resetting
I've noted since taking DD that the Stance works fine until the last enemy drops. The hot bar shows it still active, buy my HPs & AC return to normal. Next fight I must cancel then reactivate to get back into Defensive Stance. There's an easy work-around by always cancelling DS after the fight, but it's a pain and I often cannot reactivate for the first round or two of each fight.

Sounds like the sticky combat modes seen on PowerAttack, Expertise, etc.
While a bit of a pain, it's probably for the best this way if it fixes a different problem(which I'd think it might).
A few years back, I recall certain occurrences could cause it to de-activate mid fight; and I got into a couple PvP fights where players seemed to be intentionally abusing the flaw in the mechanic to use up all of my uses(this was before it had infinite).

Expertise sticks fine (though it's a pain that it stays dropped when you drink a pot).
It's not that DS drops. It's that the flag stays set, but the bonus drops - thus I need to drop/activate to get the bonus back. This is worse than default if I forget to drop after every fight.

The Defensive stance has a lot of problems, but they're well documented in the wiki: you can read up at http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Defensive_stance and http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Defensive_stance, dunno if the EE did anything to fix it, or if the team is working on a fix for at least the infinite uses Arelith update not working.
EDIT: I've found some use for it on characters with no means of spotting stealthed characters, you can click attack on a fixture as immobile from the Defensive stance and that way stay immune to Sneak attack when the sneaker strikes out of stealth.
