I think I can see where the problem lies. It was introduced by a code cleanup in lib/ipmi_kontronoem.c that went into 1.8.15 and it is actually a regression. I'll send a patch upstream. In the mean-time could you re-test with the following build to see if it fixed your problem:

The patch for this is already upstream, we need to back-port 12eeca602c104980cd36d89fa5b25ebd56b3c574 to fix this.

Moving back to Verified State as it was incorrectly moved back to Assigned when switching the package owner.
