If you change the powered tag for a command block to true it does infact change teh state but would not run a repeat command block.
Also when you then power the command block with a redstone it then remains powered but again does not run
After removing the redstone it then goes unpowered and worked properly if powered again with a restone

yes but forcing it to powered and the fact that the data tag remains force powered is my concern.... i guess its not a bug?
Modifying the "powered" tag is not officially supported. If it works, that's fine. But if it doesn't work without properly powering the block we are not going to change the behavior.
Indended, they are only activated when given a rising redstone signal. Forcing their state to powered does not constitute that.
