Open any score or create new.
Go to Layout -> Page Settings.
for example: Try to change A3 (or anything), Landscape.
result: The setting will eventually return to A4.
Maybe related: Also Tabloid is not selectable. --> If you choose Tabloid, it shows "Ledger".

For the record, I note a change on last September 13, 2016.
- This nightly works (in the sense: before new added feature/option) :82a79cb
- Not this one: dae8605
So, I guess here : https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/2467/files
.
To fix #100221: Make Page Settings "Landscape" checkbox into proper "Portrait/Landscape" radio buttons. The commits you list are all for master, the bug is in 2.1 though. Or is it in master too?
For 2.1 it would be b7ecfefe47, for master 9c79ce51a1
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3141, I haven't tested it though, as I'm having difficulties switching builds between master and 2.1
Edit: no, that won't work.
I can see however why it fails: the constructor for PageFormat explicitly sets A4, copying existing settings (before swapping width and height) is missing
switching between portrait and langscape works in master, but the ledger vs. tabloid issue exists there too, so appears unrelated.

Tabloid isn't actually much of a bug - tabloid *is* the same as ledger, just two different names for the same thing. I think Tabloid is more common, maybe we should eliminate Ledger so the UI doesn't get confused. I did improve the initialization though - because we were setting the values in mm rather than inches, it was off by a fraction.
Funnily enough, I think of Ledger as more common.

Would ANSI B work? Or it's too techie?

Too techy for me :-). I wouldn't have known what it was, nor would I have known what Ledger was without looking it up. The average person probably doesn't know Tabloid either. I do probably only from printing orchestra scores and that's what other software I have used called it. Maybe they listed Ledger too, but since I wanted portrait orientation, Tabloid is what I always used.
