Boff not loading on map change bug and bugged accounts

This bug is my white whale. I have been hounding and hunting it since before the launch of LOR...
To recap, the bug manifests after using an away party. Most of the boffs that weren't part of the party fail to load after a map change and the character remains bugged for an indeterminate period of time. It affects all characters, even new ones. This bug makes the loadout system fail and replaces the bugged boffs in the maps where your boffs are supposed to show up (your bridge, the temporal ambassador mission and similar maps) with generic NPCs. It is the same bug that forced Cryptic to add checks at the head of department tab in the doff list, and more checks when the boff stations are looked at...
And more frustrating of all, the few times I managed to get some Dev attention they never managed to reproduce it.
Well... I created a new alt account and cannot repro it there, either.
So this bug seems to affect only some accounts, that explains why the devs couldn't reproduce it. The repro steps will only work on an affected account.
Now what?
