Well, answered my own problem. That's how VFP works. If you try to set it to no buffering, you get a VFP error message that views require optimistic row or table buffering.

Oh well, off to find another way to slay this dragon.

In order to get the updates to reflect when I access the view, I want no buffering, and that's how I've got it marked in the bizobj on the form. When I run the form, and check the buffering at a point where I want to see what has been checked in the grid, the buffering has been set to optimistic row, resulting in nothing showing up as checked when I run a select on the view.
