Comment 19 Justin Sherrill 2016-01-20 20:13:19 UTC 
Note there is a workaround for this:

1) Create two activation keys  Key "A" and Key "B", assign them both to the same lifecycle environment and content view
2) Assign no subscriptions to Key A
3) Assign a VDC subscription or some other subscription to Key B that provides content.  This subscription does not even need to have any free entitlements available
4) Adjust the enabled content on Key B
5) Register a client with  --activationkeys=A,B

The guest will use Key A to auto heal itself grabbing the guest subscription and then use Key B to grab the list of enabled repos.

Upstream bug component is Activation Keys
Comment 25 Sean O'Keeffe 2016-09-29 09:27:59 UTC 
Another way to workaround this is to add a sub to the activation key then enable/disable Product Content and then remove the sub from the activation key, this will still mean the options you set under Product Content will still be there you just can't change them unless you have a subscription attached to the activation key.

Workaround in comment 25 seems to work, thank you Sean!
