    It's possible. I did end up getting everything working. 

    I ended up creating a client wrapper as a method triggered from a form event onFormPopulate. The client method validates that the item is locked then calls the server method to perform the update. It's working as expected now.

I used this code in ItemType 'Manufacturer' as onAfterUpdate Method and it updated the 'name' property without server crash:

this.setAction("edit");
this.setAttribute("serverEvents","0");
this.setProperty("name","myupdatedname");
Item result = this.apply();

return result;

Maybe some other Method influence your current one. Maybe LifeCylce Method? Or do you automatic revision mode?
