Steadfast VFX proccing on Form of the Tempest + Tiger + Swordsman stack refresh outside of combat

As of a few weeks ago, the "Steadfast" Energy Unlock gained a strange, annoying bugged interaction with Form of the Tempest, Form of the Tiger and Form of the Swordsman specifically. Namely, when any of these three toggleforms procs new stacks or refreshes old stacks, including outside of combat, Steadfast's VFX procs, pulsing a blue aura around the user. Of note, it's blue no matter what color you've assigned to Steadfast, and while it visually procs, the power itself does not proc, and does not give you free energy just for existing.
While negligible as far as gameplay goes, it's a lag bomb if using supermags/megamags as many size-scaling auras and aura-adjacent effects are, and given this is Champions Online, for all I know this bug probably ties to some buried decade-old memory leak that's been waiting to surface all this time. It's also why a lot of people were flashing blue for no apparent reason last dev CC and dev CC stream.

The fact that the forums refuse to tell you how close you are to the character/post size limit until you attempt to post something that happens to be too big- and the automated spam filter will immediately completely lock you out of posting long-term if you attempt to post or edit posts too close to the character limit- is genuine agony.
