Bug or Feature? Helm of Keen Senses - DC60 to repair via anvil

Description
==========
Helm of Keen Senses, crafted by my character, returned to the anvil to repair and found it is a DC60, which is unachievable at 26 points into smithing, but object only requires a DC24 to craft.


Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Unknown, I am unsure if this is a bug or part of the calculation of the repair system. It seems to me that the more or higher number of bonuses on a given item the higher the DC.

The Helm of Keen Senses has the following bonuses:
Armor Bonus: +1 (AC Deflection Modifier)
Armor Bonus vs.: Fey +2 (AC Deflection Modifier)
Armor Bonus vs.: Outsider +2 (AC Deflection Modifier)
Armor Bonus vs.: Shapechanger +2 (AC Deflection Modifier)
Armor Bonus vs.: Undead +2 (AC Deflection Modifier)
Damage Immunity: Bludgeoning 10% Immunity Bonus
Enhancement Bonus: Constitution +1
Bonus Feat: Darkvision
Skill Bonus: Listen +2
Skill Bonus: Search +2
Skill Bonus: Spot +2
Tier 1 Rune (Thorass)

I have not used the rune yet on the helm.

Expected result
-----------------------
That the DC would not be 60, but something reflective of the difficulty to craft item.

Actual result
-------------------
Wasted all my crafting points for the day since didn't expect a DC60 repair requirement, I missed the "fine" print. ;)
