Selecting camera by name in code breaks SecurityPanel.CAMERA

Question

I'm having a problem selecting a specific camera on the desktop.
When I pass the "name" parameter to get the specific camera, it does select the proper camera:
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera("1");
If I call it again with a different parameter, again it works as it should by changing the camera:
camera=Camera.getCamera("0");
However once I execute that first call, I notice that if I right click on the movie, click Settings, click on the Camera tab in the Security popup, attempting to change the camera there has no effect. Normally you can change the camera from that panel if you do not get the camera object by name, however it seems that once you get a camera object by name, the SecurityPanel.Camera tab is broken. You can change the item in the dropdown, but the camera itself never changes.
Can anyone else verify this or is this a known bug?
This occurs in the IDE, Firefox 9, IE 8 with FP 11.1.102.55
Thanks!

@Crest-Raj – so, as you can see, there is no text frame by the name of "Main1". You either have to rename the text frame in the Layers Panel or do it by script.
Here a JavaScript(ExtendScript) snippet that works with the selected text frame:
app.selection[0].name = "Main1";
Close/re-open the Layers Panel and you'll see the updated name.
All the "names" in brackets are generic names InDesign will create, if you are creating a text frame.
For new empty text frames the generic name is: "<text frame>".
In the moment you insert contents, the generic name will change according to the contents.
If you try to get the "name" property of a text frame with a generic name, you'll get an empty String!
After re-naming the Text Frame in the Layers Panel or by scripting, the name will not change, if you add or delete contents.
