[Pre-game Lobby] Runes show one page in lobby, but game loads with another

I ended my League play last night playing Ashe, and equipped my Ashe runes. Earlier in the day I had played Lux.

Today, I was placed in Mid and picked Lux. I changed my summoner spells and looked at my runes. My Lux rune page was already selected. I thought that was so strange, as my last game was ADC, not Mid, so shouldn't it have my Ashe page? I thought maybe the client was smart enough to automatically suggest a rune page with the name of the champion I drafted. I remember looking at it three times and it said that it was on my "Lux" page. And so, I never clicked the rune page drop down at all.

As soon as I hit the loading screen I saw Fleetfoot was my keystone and immediately realized that the game had loaded my Ashe page. Sure enough, the abilities in-game matched my Ashe page.

In short, I believe somehow the lobby display might show you on a certain rune page, but you may not actually be on that rune page. As I would have expected, the game loaded with my most recently used rune page active. However, I am 100% certain that the lobby had my Lux page up. I have also confirmed that my Lux rune page has not changed.

Has happened to me multiple times, i've lost three or four ranked games over it. It's really frustrating and it's been around for a good bit.
