I seem to remember that there were cases in the not so distant past where 
the lines in the include files dealing with the protection bits were 
incorrect, and resetting bits that were 'don't care', but had an impact on 
programmers and/or debuggers.

I don't know if it concerned this family of processors, I have a sneaky 
suspicion that they were 16F series. However it may be worth putting this 
problem on the Microchip forum to see what response you get. If it is a 
problem with the include file you may get a quicker fix that way.
