I now realise there's a difference between selecting an interface and clicking the yellow "Edit" button and clicking the blue "Edit interface" button, which does allow for changing the MAC address. While not quite obvious it is possible to change the MAC address.

Feel free to close this if there's nothing more to add :-)

Right, the yellow "edit" button at the bottom of the interfaces list is for bulk editing. It didn't really make sense to include the MAC address here as each interface typically has a unique MAC.
