What you could try is this:
From BC Manager, load the temporary preset from the BCR to see the 
current assignments, then open the MIDI input message window, press
the Record button and see which MIDI messages the BCR sends when you
fiddle with its controls. If the messages received by BC Manager don't
match the specified assignments, there might indeed be something wrong
with the hardware.
On the other hand, I've sometimes noticed that somewhat confusing 
behavior may occur if two or more buttons/encoders are linked to the 
same Control Change number, so it might be something like that -
perhaps due to a MIDI loop?

Hope this helps a bit,
Mark.
