It can be changed, whenever I set the interface to down (so that it is not in 
use), thus telling me, macchanger is generally working.

Hmm, there are some similar bugreports related to this issue, too.
Let us hope, the mainatiner does fix them.

Yes, because it does not work! However, for me personally I can fix it by 
editing those files myself. But I am thinking of all the other people, who 
want software, that is working. 

For myself, I will often find a solution, but I know a lot of people, who are 
much less experienced than myself - those are in my mind (and are in the 
devlopers, too, I hope).
