(Aside: There's no "sectioned-view" component in JIRA right now. See JENKINS-5109.)

Any attempt to update a view using the Sectioned View plugin results in an exception. Views created with plugin version 1.5 and Hudson 1.318 still function. They just can't be changed through the UI.

To reproduce, open any sectioned view, and click "OK" to save it.
