After switching PLMNs, mmcli output is not updated

  1. After starting ModemManager, the PLMN is correctly reported:
$ mmcli -m 0 -K | grep modem.3gpp.operator-code
modem.3gpp.operator-code                        : 22601
  1. Next I change operator:
$ mmcli -m 0 -K --3gpp-register-in-operator=22610
successfully registered the modem
  1. But now mmcli keeps on reporting the old operator:
$ mmcli -m 0 -K | grep modem.3gpp.operator-code
modem.3gpp.operator-code                        : 22601

The operator did get changed, though:

$ echo $'AT+COPS?\r' > /dev/ttyUSB0
$ journalctl -n1 -o cat -u ModemManager
<debug> (ttyUSB0): <-- '<CR><LF>+COPS: 1,2,"22610",7<CR><LF><CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>'

Full debug log from step 2:
