OK, I got it. It seems to depend on whether I work with the object vs the attribute of it.

First run, where I echo the object "after" put_msg_header:

for (var X in msgs)

X:35
ORIG:0353 <-- msgs[x]
CHANGE:0425 <-- msgs[x].tags = '0425'
<put_msg_header>
<JSON.stringify(msgs[x])>
object:{"tags":"0425","number":38,"to":"deon","subject":"Test Reply","from":"Clearing ...
STATUS:0 <!-- return from put_msg_header
AFTER:0425 <-- msgs[x]

vs echo the object "before" put_msg_header:

X:35
ORIG:0353 <!-- msgs[x]
CHANGE:0389 <!-- msgs[x] = '0389'
<JSON.stringify(msgs[x])> (Note it has reverted)
object:{"tags":"0353","number":38,"offset":0,"to":"deon","from":"Clearing Houz","subject":"Test ...
<put_msg_header>
STATUS:0 <!-- result
AFTER:0353 <!-- no change

So it seems JSON.stringifying the object reverts its value, that doesnt seem right, but as long as I dont do that I guess I'm OK.
