There may be many ways to save the last album played on the Zune, but here is one way.

1) Pick an album, pick a song, and start playing the song by pressing the center black button. Let the song play for 5 seconds.
2) Press the play/pause button to pause the song for 5 seconds.
3) Press the play/pause button to resume the song for 5 seconds.
4) Press the play/pause button to pause the song for 5 seconds.
5) Press and HOLD the play/pause until the Zune goes to sleep and then count 5 seconds.
6) Press the play/pause button to turn the Zune back on.
7) Keep pressing the center black button until it plays a song from the same album. Let the song play for 5 seconds.
8) Press the play/pause button to pause the song for 5 seconds.
9) Hold down the Left button and the down button (outer black circle) until it powers off.
10) After 5 seconds, reboot the Zune.

Now, I can’t exactly remember what the issue was (I should have posted as soon as I found the fix), but if you suspect the issue could be DRM related, try this fix from Microsoft. It fixed license issues to my profile.
