A quick fix: copy the measure you want to add smart shapes to a blank measure at the *end* of the document and add the smart shapes there, then copy it back. Apparently the bug you describe only happens when you try to edit smart shapes in measures that come before other measures but doesn't happen in measures that are at the end of a file.
