NPC Heavy Plasma Torp Targeting Problem?

I was playing an episode in the Romulan arc (Ground Zero, Hobus, to be precise) and noticed something odd. Reman birds of prey would fire heavy plasma torpedoes which got a couple kilometers away, and abruptly turned around to blow up in the original shooter's faces.
While it was amusing to watch these birds of prey dying to their own turncoat torpedoes, I don't think it was supposed to happen. This didn't happen last time I played this episode a few weeks back, either.
Makes me wonder if maybe some of the heavy plasma torpedoes I saw hitting borg during STFs earlier might not have all been from players with Omega torpedo launchers.
That said, the strings of heavy plasma torpedoes unleashed by the IRW Sithesh in this same mission appeared to function normally. Or maybe I was close enough to the Sithesh they simply chose me as a priority target.
Anyone else noticing this? I'm thinking a recent patch, maybe making way for the Legacy of Romulus update pending, may have tweaked the torpedoes targeting to accommodate a new faction, and now some ships are firing plasma torpedoes that are technically not part of their faction anymore?

Really was funny to watch, though.
btw NPC's still manage to lock they're own HY plasma torpedos on themselves, amusing as it is, how about a fix?
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
