Yes, this appears to be a bug that should be fixed. Please open an Equinox bug.

Rationale So, this might sounds like it's a silly thing to want to do in the first place. However, one very good reason for this is because it's the only way to "set" (or rather "unset") certain equinox flags due to the fact that the only check causing them to be unset is a null check (which if I can't set it null will obviously never be the case). Again, before Luna, this always worked. -- Raymond Augé (@rotty3000) Senior Software Architect Liferay, Inc. (@Liferay) -- Raymond Augé (@rotty3000) Senior Software Architect Liferay, Inc.
