Assembly feature pattern buggy?

I patterned an assembly feature cut with .5" spacing. So far so good. I adjusted some dimensions on the cut and/or number of instances on the pattern and now the pattern spacing jumps 10x to 5". The dimension still says .5" but the distance between centers measures a full 5". So the work-around is to change the dimension to .05" to yield .5" but, how do I know it wont "snap" back in future? Anyone seen this before?

I have seen this once before but, as usual, I had responsibility to get real work done and just did what I had to without digging into it.

If I delete the pattern and start it again, I get the same 10x factor.

If this is a bug, this sloppiness is getting scary. If a feature fails or system crashes, that's one thing. But the interface secretly scaling features 10x with no warning is going to cost people REAL money in mistakes. No?
