Comment (by johnstonphilip):

 Yes you should. That is what is happening currently. What I am focused on
 here is that the wrong is error is being thrown for the wrong field,
 preventing a legitimate update. A field that wasn't being updated, is
 being updated. Not only does this cause the permissions error, but I would
 imagine also wastes update calls that don't actually need to happen.
