Custom Layout Template reverts to default layout after editt

I'm having issues w/ the login widget and using a custom layout.  I'm doing the following

1. Drop in a Login Widget
2. Change LayoutTemplatePath to my custom layout ascx file
3. Publish
4. View live site and custom layout shows up properly
5. Go back to the login widget to edit it (ex change ShowRegisterLink to True)
6. Save
7. Publish
8. View live site and custom layout gone and reverts to the built in one

My workaround at the moment is to delete the whole widget, drop it in again, but make sure I set all the properties correct the first time.  A bit of a pain because I haven't decided how I want it to look so each time I want to mess w/ the properties I have to delete and add the control again.  LIke I said though, it does work the first time so if I only need to may changes on the custom layout file it will show up correctly - just can't edit properties of the login widget.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong...?
