Why does Lightroom reset the development settings every time I save the image in Photoshop?

Question

For portrait retouching, I usually do basic calibration, color correction et c. in Lightroom. Then I proceed to Photoshop (*right-click* → *edit in Photoshop*) to do skin retouching and styling. Then I save the image (as TIFF with layers by default), at which point it gets automatically imported into Lightroom, where I do the final stylisation. However, if I go back to Photoshop to retouch the image any further at this point, once I overwrite the TIFF with Photoshop, Lightroom resets all the development settings for the TIFF (not for the original RAW file though). I can get my settings back by selecting the last entry in the development history or using snapshots I created earlier, but it's still a bit annoying. Why does Lightroom reset the development settings when I save over the image in Photoshop, and how can I circumvent it (I think it doesn't happen when I use PSDs instead of TIFFs, but that's only a workaround)

The simple remedy for the second trip to PS is to choose Edit Original when the popup window appears. You will then be using the Tiff from the original round trip. Otherwise, PS will edit the edited version and you'll end up with a filename <name>edit-edit.<ext>
