+1 Fire Gems recipe not working... crucible tree related.

A few days ago I was doing the +1 fire gems recipe a lot with no problems. 40%+ total quality skill gems with fire tags. Normal rarity Scepter.

Then yesterday I fully allocated the scepter's crucible tree. Now today I cannot for the life of me get the +1 fire gems recipe to work.

I've tried with various combinations of these gems, including putting all of them in with the scepter:
20% Righteous Fire
20% Wave of Conviction
18% Burning Arrow
23% Pyroclastic Mine
8% Ignite Proliferation Support
12% Flameblast
12% Vaal Fireball
12% Holy Flame Totem

The scepter has these nodes allocated:
Adds 2-4 Physical Damage to Spells, Overwhelm 5% Physical Damage Reduction
+12% to Quality (scepter has 20% quality from whetstones for 32% total)
+80 Dexterity, Gain no inherent bonuses from Dexterity
24% increased Area of Effect, 10% reduced Area of Effect if you've Killed Recently
Regenerate 15 Mana per second while any Enemy is in your Righteous Fire or Scorching Ray

The problematic, normal rarity scepter vendors for 5 alteration shards. I scoured each crucible node one at a time, and the fire gems recipe finally worked after scrubbing the quality node.

I just ran into the same bug. Recipe works for every scepter except this one, the one I want to use, and it also has a +quality node in the tree... I don't even care about the quality, but I need it for the node after it. Fucking ridiculous bug! Was hoping to be able to take this to standard and finish crafting if there after the league ends, but I guess that's not possible if I ever have to scour it and start over.
