Its a feature, not a bug :P 

Recently we changed things so that you have to have admin permissions to edit
course.conf.  The main issue is that users can very easily lock themselves out
of their courses if they put something in course.conf that doesn't compile. 
(And its dangerous from a security point of view).  If you want the old
behavior back Remove course.conf from the configuration line

# These course specific files cannot be edited from the File Manager for saftey
reasons except
# by an administrator.  These are paths relative to the course directory.
$uneditableCourseFiles = ['simple.conf',
              'course.conf',
    ];
