I think this is expected behaviour.  Your startup options are
conflicting.  You normally have only one of showstarts or hidestars
since their settings are mutually exclusive.  You also only have one of
odd or oddeven.  I think the last encountered setting wins so your
startup options are equivalent to

#+STARTUP: hidestars oddeven
