Green warp trails on Federation characters

Submitted on Holodeck as ticket #3,456,462
When a Federation character warps out of a system space map, the warp trails sometimes appear green, as if they were Romulan warp trails.
Federation warp trails normally appear blue.

But since Season 10, they sometimes appear green.

The bug occurs even if the ship has no special equipment that can affect the appearance of warp trails. For example, I can reproduce the bug with only the standard equipment shown below.

I believe that Federation warp trails were broken when you tried to fix visual effects on KDF and Romulan characters. See the following lines from the Tribble patch notes on April 17, 2015:
Resolved an issue in which Klingons would sometimes play the Romulan Warp-In and Warp-Out FX in space instead of the Klingon FX.
Klingon-allied Romulans will now correctly play the Romulan Beam-In and Beam-Out FX instead of the Klingon FX.

On May 13, 2015, I conducted three tests, each on a character from a different faction. The format of the test results is as follows:
F: A to B: x out of y
This means that a character from faction F was transferred from map A to map B a total of y times, and the bug was reproducible x out of those y times.
Federation: Andoria System to Beta Quadrant: 3 out of 10
KDF: Ganalda System to Beta Quadrant: 0 out of 10
Fed-allied Romulan: Drozana System to Beta Quadrant: 0 out of 10
The bug was reproducible 3 out of 10 times on the Federation character. I could not reproduce the bug on the KDF character or the Fed-allied Romulan. The KDF character always had red warp trails, and the Romulan always had green warp trails, as expected. Although the tests above were conducted by warping out from system space to sector space, I've also seen the bug in missions such as "The Herald Sphere", where the ship warps from one system space map to another.
Steps to reproduce
1. Log on to a Federation character.
2. Fly to the entrance of the Andoria System in the Beta Quadrant.
3. Enter the Andoria System.
4. Warp out to the Beta Quadrant and watch the ship's warp trails.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you see green warp trails.

Yup. Like 90% of the time, it's green. Is my ship secretly being over-run by borg? Maybe I should check the environmental controls and make sure Engineering isn't at 39.1 °C...
For me, it's female trill, fed side and it happens on every ship.
