edit the
cec_hdmi_port" value="1"

to be honest I'm not 100% sure now but you can at least give it a try and change to 3

edit: or you might also try the whole CEC settings from within XBMC GUI or from SSH run
cec-config
and follow the onscreen messages

I tried your suggestion, but it unfortunately did not work. :/

I edited

cec_hdmi_port" value="1"

to read

cec_hdmi_port" value="3"

and saved the file. I then rebooted and tested it out by switching the tv off and on again. Same problem. Interestingly, I opened

/home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/peripheral_data/rpi_2708_1001.xml

and found that the cec_hdmi_port value had been reset to 1. I can't recall exactly what I did, but I saved the file and switched the tv off and on a few more times and managed to get the cec_hdmi_port value to stay 3. This however, did not solve the problem of the hdmi ports switching.

I tried cec-config, but that didn't work either. :/

This is how I see the problem:

It seems as if something is causing the RPi CEC/HDMI settings to update/change when it detects the tv switching on. This somehow drops the HDMI connection. The TV, now thinking there is nothing connected to HDMI 3, switches to the default HDMI port (HDMI 1). In the meantime, the HDMI3 connection is reestablished and is available for selection from the TV sources menu.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that is my working hypothesis for now...
