API set command always results in pending configuration changes

I'm running the following API call to change the device geo-location (which works):

/api/?type=config&action=set

&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']

&element=<deviceconfig><system><geo-location><latitude>111</latitude></geo-location></system></deviceconfig>

I'd also like to validate whether that command updates the configuration or not. Every time I run the call, even if the current configuration is set to 111 (as above), the device shows pending changes.

The preview changes report shows no changes, but there is a pending item in 'change summary' which is of type 'Storage Parition - Setup' as below.

Wondering if this is the intended behaviour?
