Crystalline Entity Matter Conversion Beam Bug

For some reason, and it's not easy to tell, but the Crystalline Entity sometimes does far more damage than it should be doing just with it's autoattack. N.B. This isn't counting any Shatter damage as you shouldn't be taking Shatter damage anyway if doing it correctly.
Multiple people running Tachyon Beam clear's all the stacks of Recrystallize CE gains, on the runs I've parsed it never gains more than 4 stacks of Recrystallize before they're wiped clean.
I run two versions of scatter volley with 4 DHC's 2 Turrets and 1 KCuttingBeam, a fairly ordinary build. Normally CE is not a threat.
However, occasionally I notice it double hitting me with Matter Conversion Beam, immediately one and another. This is verbatim from my combat log:
[7:03] Your Dual Heavy Disruptor Cannons deals 524 (1202) Disruptor Damage to Crystalline Entity.
[7:03] Your Dual Heavy Disruptor Cannons deals 1617 (3710) Disruptor Damage(Critical) to Crystalline Entity.
[7:03] Your Plasma Pulse Cannon deals 189 Plasma Damage to Crystalline Entity's officer Large Crystalline Fragment .
[7:03] Crystalline Entity's Matter Conversion Beam gives 6808 (7882) to your Shields.
[7:03] Crystalline Entity deals 3586 (17184) Antiproton Damage to you with Matter Conversion Beam.
[7:03] Your Plasma Pulse Cannon deals 158 Plasma Damage to Crystalline Entity's officer Large Crystalline Fragment .
[7:03] Your Dual Heavy Disruptor Cannons deals 1353 (3105) Disruptor Damage(Critical) to Crystalline Entity.
[7:03] Your Disruptor Turret - Scatter Volley II deals 487 (1117) Disruptor Damage(Critical) to Crystalline Entity.
[7:03] Your Disruptor Turret - Scatter Volley II deals 146 (482) Disruptor Damage to Crystalline Entity's officer Large Crystalline Fragment .
So right in the middle of a Scatter Volley, with 6 Elite Scorpion Fighters firing, there are two hits of Matter Conversion Beam in a row just to gain a timescale (far far less than a second).
Moreover, it's hitting for 14690 and 20770 immediately after (basically for all practical purposes at the same exact time), even though it has zero stacks of Recrystallize.
Somehow it is my guess that it is keeping the Damage boost from Recrystallize even though visually it has zero stacks, and the stacks are actively being cleansed.
