A global "udevadm trigger" often has weird effects.

All of the initial setup udev rules get re-run and will re-assert
those settings and override the current state.

Without digging through the udev rules it would be hard to tell, but
in general a udevadm trigger re-executes the udev rules used when the
devices are initially found and can reset devices settings back to the
udev rule(s) want that other applications had changed/overrode.
