Come sostituire un valore in un array plist usando plutil?

Sto provando a cambiare un valore in un array usando plutil , ma ottengo l'errore

Failed to insert value new value 2 at key path PARENT.0.KEY_IN_ARRAY with error -[__NSCFConstantString characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds

Ecco un esempio di plist per illustrare il problema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>SIMPLE</key>
  <string>value1</string>
  <key>PARENT</key>
  <array>
    <dict>
      <key>KEY_IN_ARRAY</key>
      <string>value2</string>
    </dict>
    <dict>
      <key>KEY_IN_ARRAY</key>
      <string>value3</string>
    </dict>
  </array>
</dict>
</plist>

La modifica del valore SIMPLE è semplice:

$ plutil -extract SIMPLE xml1 -o - sample.plist 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<string>value1</string>
</plist>

$ plutil -replace SIMPLE -string "new value 1" sample.plist 

$ plutil -extract SIMPLE xml1 -o - sample.plist 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<string>new value 1</string>
</plist>

Ottenere il valore dell'array funziona bene:

$ plutil -extract PARENT.0.KEY_IN_ARRAY xml1 -o - sample.plist 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<string>value2</string>
</plist>

ma ottengo l'errore quando provo a modificare questo valore:

$ plutil -replace PARENT.0.KEY_IN_ARRAY -string "new value 2" sample.plist 
sample.plist: Could not modify plist, error: Failed to insert value new 
value 2 at key path PARENT.0.KEY_IN_ARRAY with error -[__NSCFConstantString 
characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds
