My understanding is that order matters, too. If a helm, shield, or body armor has ED on it (whether from the base item, jewels, or whatever), and no +min or +max yet, you can add +min and/or +max without breaking the ED as long as whatever you're using to add +min and/or +max doesn't have ED too, and as long as you never add ED afterwards. If you ever add ED at the same time or after the item has +min or +max, though, it subjects all ED on the item to the bug as described above.
