I did find the following on page 34 of the owner's manual:

The following takes place simultaneously when
locking/unlocking the vehicle via the remote
control:
▷ Depending on how the vehicle is equipped,
the theft protection is activated/deactivated.
Theft protection prevents the doors from
being unlocked using the lock buttons or the
door opener
.
▷ The welcome lamps, interior lamps and
courtesy lamps are switched on and off.
▷ The alarm system, refer to page 40, is
armed or disarmed.
This "theft protection" appears to be different from the alarm, and is optional equipment? Not sure what effects whether its equipped or not - I don't recall such an option when ordering the car... Anyway, perhaps your car has this "theft protection" option, and something about how you did it last night activated it, but what you did today didn't?
