(I think you mean Z mode, by the way - that's the one that can have
any attribute).

That is an artefact of the room format; JSW64 Z stores rooms by
their colour attributes, not block types, like Manic Miner does.
Though come to think of it, if you're editing a Manic Miner game and
change the attributes of a block, JSWED does go to the trouble of
replacing the old attribute with the new one.
