This is sorta "a feature, not a bug" territory. We intentionally start with a stable and predictable state, outside the system time, So that everything is reproducible. There are communities who find this very important.
I guess we could have a setting... doesn't seem like a useful thing to waste the confusion of another checkbox on, though... hmm.

I wonder what it uses to seed its random number generator..
Well, it would be this if it uses the vfpu:

Oh yeah, there's that one, I almost forgot..
If you don't seed a random time (yeah, two randoms yay) you get a random number that's the same each time. This is a feature across everything and is common in older systems without a clock to have problems with. For example, timed event exploits occurred because every save you could reboot and go back to whatever it is you were doing to get, for example, a huge sum of easy gold.
Yes, tested on 1.13.1

Set Music to Random in options, save it. Reboot PPSSPP. The game will start with random music from the playlist but there will be always the same "random" music order. So the music is not completely random.
On the original PSP, the music is random at each new boot.
You can check if the music is random from the main screen menu if you want to reproduce the bug.
