Mk XIV shields randomly assume "shuttle" stats in Advanced queues

Test data I have so far:
Character #1: Lvl 55-56 Tac Romulan (happened at both levels)
Ship: T6 Malem
Problem Shield #1: Mk XIV Romulan Prototype Shield (first blue, then purple, then epic; happened on all three)
Control shield: White Mk IX bought from vendor
Control which became Problem #2: AEGIS Shield, originally Mk XII, upgraded to Mk XIV
Queues tested: Crystalline Cataclysm Advanced, Infected: Conduit Advanced, Cure Normal
Originally noticed that I was dying in CCA way too much, and that Science Team 1 was applying way too much per application. Looked at my stats and found that my shields were only ~3500 (2044 when I looked at the shield itself). The next time, I took a cheapy Mk IX shield purchased from a vendor in with me. After spwaning in, I had 3500 shields again. Swapped in the Mk IX and it went up to ~9000. After that, I purchased an AEGIS shield and tested it - it gave me correct numbers (I think it was around 15k but don't remember). Upgraded it to Mk XIV and stats reverted to "shuttle" numbers - around 3800. Problem does not occur in any system space I've tried: Sol, DS9, or a couple system patrols I chose randomly. (Edit: Problem also did not occur in Cure Found normal, the only normal queue I could get to pop at that time of the night.)
Character #2: Lvl 52 Tac Starfleet (friend's character)
Ship: T6 Excelsior
Problem Shield: Mk XIV AEGIS
Control: None, he didn't have time to acquire & test before logging
AEGIS yielded about 3600 for him in CCA.
Character #3: Lvl 51 Tac Starfleet (mine)
Ship: T6 Excelsior
Problem Shield: Covariant Mk XIV ultra-rare
Control: Mk XI Romulan Prototype Shield freshly acquired from "Coliseum" (same way my Romulan got it)
I wanted to flip things up and see whether it was the Romulan shield or the Mk level. Tested in CCA and Infected: Conduit Advanced. The Mk XIV Covariant yielded ~3800 (shuttle) and the Romulan Prototype ~9000.
Not knowing anything about the code, I'd guess this has something to do with the scaling up to level 60, and it grabbing the wrong stat? I also dumped my shuttle on the Romulan character to see if it was related to the bug that shows a shuttle active in a character's "Info" box even when they're flying a starship, but it didn't fix it. Even with exactly ONE active starship and no shuttles, the Mk XIV Romulan still yielded shuttle stats in CCA.
(Edit: Also haven't leveled to 60 yet. Just haven't had time to run the necessary missions and get all that gooey XP yet.)
