This has been going on for many years now. I ended my endorsement of them as I never knew if a new set would be good. They were actually quite good when they first came out with a useable "jazz" string (before their hybrid and pizz line), but they seemed to decline in quality pretty rapidly. Passing inconsistent strings off to students doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
I played a Zyex strung bass at ISB and thought they felt and sounded good on that bass. I played and heard Kurt's bass and liked the strings and love the bass.
