I have noticed the same problem.  While I don't know why it happens I did
discover a 'work-around'.  DAM offers to name the accessory 'Desk Accessory'.
The solution is to accept this default name, then exit DAM and rename the
accessory to whatever name you choose.  This has always worked for me.

Good luck.
