First, make sure the work item that you're manipulating currently in a state that has a valid transition to New. Otherwise, you will not be able to save the changes.

If you have customized the bug work item type. According to sounds like a rule in the bug workflow or field.

If you run the [witadmin exportwitd] command and export the bug work item type, look for the Assigned To Field and look at the rules on the field. Also take a look at the section and look at the rules for the transitions.
