The explanation from me is not quite right, must be the long day :) 
I've read "00:0E:6D:13:D8:74" twice :( Sorry for the confusion.
The situation you reported works fine with me here, using version 2.15. It
doesn't matter here for me if I use hci0 or the bdaddress.
I think you should update your hcitool to a newer version.

        ciao,
          Stefan
