Hello,
I have an update to the issue. Other than claimed in the initial post, set_user option still works with QPP. The confusing point is, although quartus2.ini is modified by a tcl command, Settings-> Board and IP settings still holds the value read at Quartus startup.

So I can execute my script set_VHDL_preference.tcl as PRE_FLOW_SCRIPT to get IP generated with the HDL of my choice.

set_user_option -name hdl_preference VHDL
set_user_option -name managed_flow_hdl_preference VHDL

A feature to set hdl_preference per project (in .qsf or quartus.ini) is still highly wanted.

Regards,
Frank
