Super Mario Sunshine relies on Performance Queries to complete that level. As was shown on the wiki page, up until 3.0-439 it auto-completed, from 3.0-439 to 3.5-512 it couldn't be completed at all, then 3.5-513 fixed it properly (though there were some oopses along the way!)
Anyway, most likely what is happening is that the reset it eating the setting. When you open the graphics configuration window, the cache is reset and the gameini settings are overridden (this is by design so you can change things). Super Mario Sunshine has many settings that are vital to it working properly! So either it is overriding the necessary setting, or the cache reset is eating it.
Either way, call it a cheatcode! :D

- Status changed from New to Working as intended
Opening the graphics menu is messing up one of hte settings required for the stage. Dolphin overrides certain settings for certain games, but when you actually open the graphics menu it goes back to whatever settings you're using. Whatever settings you have set (likely texture cache accuracy or EFB Copies to Texture) doesn't work with that stage. Or, heck, it could just be switching to it at an odd time messes it up too.
