Ashok,
What you are seeing is common and probably not a "bug".
Much of the documentation seems to say that you can control the priority of
a neighbor with this command. But the command docs actually say that the
neighbor priority command "indicates the router priority value of the
nonbroadcast neighbor associated with the IP address specified". In
practice, it "indicates" the same way a speedometer "indicates" your speed:
it shows but does not determine.
Even Doyle seems to say that you can control a neighbor's priority with this
command, but I have never seen it actually work.
In practice, you will find that only entering the priority on the local
interface will actually determine a priority. You will also find that the
local neighbor priority command reflects the priority configured on the
remote neighbor interface, and will change with it.
HTH,
