So, what is likely happening is that the 'default interface' part is not done running in the background, preventing you from making this change.

I'm not saying that this is good, but that's likely why.

I certainly share your grief with TAC, we're working with someone to make the experience better and make bug-reporting less painful.

Certainly the first tac eng is going to ask you to upgrade to SXI3, then reload the box a few times, etc...
