Sounds to me like Blizzard may have set up WoW's lua engine to disable something if someone is trying to do things that cause some sort of out of bounds error.
Not saying that's what is happening, but makes you wonder.

I'm pretty sure there is something like that. One day using the default UI, I was changing the scale. The options menu has a certain range but the slash command lets you put anything. Just for fun I put in a huge value. Well, it worked but afterwords the command would not work to make it normal size again. I think I had to edit one of the files in WTF to make it normal again.
