Does this theory explain the fact that ID_MM_CANDIDATE on the *tty* device is applied during boot as expected, but ID_MM_DEVICE_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY on the *usb* device isn't applied?

Can any of you try to reproduce this issue? (e.g. make && make install from git master, then reboot, then start ModemManager without any filter applied).
