The PIC configuration fuses are already embeded in the Bootloader .HEX file. So if your EPIC software is set to program the fuses, everything's fine.
On some PIC18, you can change some config fuses on the fly but it doesn't make much sense to do so unless you have a really specific need.
You could change some config fuses BEFORE dumping the Bootloader firmware (.HEX) to your PIC, as long as you don't touch the OSC one, it shouldn't cause much problems.
Nothing is programmed to the PIC EEPROM unless your program use PBP EEPROM, DATA. I think you can also set the Bootloader to NOT refresh the EEPROM each time you update he PIC firmware.
Clear as mud huh?

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
