It's a tools bug. Check if it's still happening with the latest tools, and if it is I'll have a look. Durability needs to be changed via sysfs, we don't have a commandline tool for setting device options (and I suppose we should, for consistency). Also, reddit's been working out surprisingly well for bug reports, since it's the place that gets the most engagement from users. Bug tracker is still good for things that need to be filed so they don't get lost, but it's been a pleasant surprise :)
