Emjaye gave my pet a journeyman's stick, and it seems that it would override my higher level enchanter tash. This might just be a message reporting bug, though, as it seems it overrides itself as well.

Charmed pet threat seems all funky as well. I was regularly getting summoned after tashing at 80%.

Haynar: Adjusted charisma check for charm, based on new 255 resist caps. Charm should be more dependable now.

I'm not sure I like the new charm. I did a test on a L53 froglok ilis knight with Malo, Tash, and -30 MR of items and got the following durations: 162, 428, 430, 426, 430, 341, 47, 425, 258, 428, 430, 124 which averages out to 5.5 minutes. I think that's a bit high, but the big problem to my mind is the lack of instant breaks - only 1 break in under 1 minute; it's the multiple charm breaks over a short period that make charm dangerously fun. It just seems like its far too easy to get 200 dps out of a charmed pet now, although this is still not for the faint of heart.
