This is probably an old issue.
As far as I can tell you can update an issue by posting to /job/

{jobname}

/config.xml with the config.xml int the body.

There still is a problem: when you GET the job config and then POST it back you would expect it to be a no-op =>

curl http://myjenkins/job/myjob/config.xml -o myjob-config.xml
curl -XPOST http://myjenkins/job/myjob/config.xml -d @myjob-config.xml

However this operation strips newlines, breaking shell steps:
<hudson.tasks.Shell>
<command>echo "one"
echo "two"
echo "three"</command>
</hudson.tasks.Shell>

becomes

<hudson.tasks.Shell> <command>echo oneecho twoecho three</command> </hudson.tasks.Shell>

(in fact the entire config.xml ends up on a single line).
