Superweapon Ingenuity does not seem to work with Beam Overload I

So I just mastered the Xindi-Primate Ateleth, for the Superweapon Ingenuity trait, and thought it would be cute to use it and Overwhelming Force on a Vaadwaur Pythus fighter (The only reason I can think of to use the trait with BO1 instead of BO2 or BO3). I don't actually own the fighter yet, so I tested the traits in combination with one of my cruisers on a foundry farm mission. For 15 minutes, I thought the trait was bugged, because I never got the second beam overload (Yes, I monitored the cooldown icon and waited 30 seconds between test fires). Then I exited, changed the BOFF abilities to include BO2, and came back to try again. This time, BO2 worked perfectly every time, resulting in nice charged particle explosions, but BO1 still always failed to achieve the second overload shot (No particle explosion, critical hit, or higher damage number).
I am disappointed, because this was not how the trait was advertised in the tool tip. However, I wonder if turning the trait off for BO1 was their way of making it incompatible with the [Over] crafting proc, which would be lazy from a programming standpoint. I imagine that there aren't many people with access to the trait (Since it is from a Lobi ship), and there must be even fewer trying to utilize it with BO1 (And how many players own both an Ateleth and Pythus, which are both Lobi?). Am I the first one to notice, or has someone else experienced this too?
