I'am using same version with the BSDL File downloaded from altera (intel) server. Thought the issue could be linked with this comment in the BSDL file, as on the QMTech Dev.Board W6 is pulled high (being acc. to PinOut File a standard IO, no special function pin).

-- You must run the Boundary Scan test in post-configuration mode if
-- any of the following pins are connected to any termination resistor:
-- U11, E14, W6, U12, G15, B7, E16.
"
Curiously enough few Pins are changing (E4 is connected to a LED, thus I tried this one):

while others don't




(E3 changes from 1/1 to 1/0 rather 1/1 to 0/0 as E4 with physical value constant High).

Tried also with pull-up removed, no change in behaviour...
