As of the May 24th patch, this is still happening. 😔

Fiddling with the Content Guide doesn't stop the story step appearing in the corner of the screen or as a star on the map. Outright turning the Content Guide OFF doesn't stop the story step appearing in the corner of the screenor as a star on the map. People who want to do the story can do so even with the Content Guide switched off and that's perfectly fine. Those of us who DON'T want to do the story should be allowed to quit the episode. End of story (pun not intended). As I said in a previous post, Season 2 has had this same bug for years. At least, I hope it's a bug that's just been ignored for so long and not something that Anet wants to keep doing.

I think you answered your own question, seeing how that's the personal story, not living world seasons 1/2. Even then, from my experience, setting it to disable personal story or turning the content guide off completely doesn't even hide the personal story.

It's the same issue that's plagued Season 2. Haven't done it? Have fun seeing it stuck in the corner of your HUD! But seriously, It was annoying when Season 2 did it, and it's annoying now. Just give us the option to quit for good, cause some of us don't want to have to repeatedly do these seasons on multiple characters just so we can have a cleaner HUD.
