Torpedo: Spread 3 Hitting Kriger in Jabberwocky Before Spawn, Breaking Mission

Video here.
If you fire a Torpedo: Spread 3 at the Hidekis at the beginning of Jabberwocky, from pretty much any range, it will fire 4 spreads instead of 3, as shown here. When these land, they kill an invisible target (which a parse revealed to be the Kriger, which doesn't spawn until a later objective). Because this target dies, the True Way Reinforcements do not spawn for "Defeat True Way Reinforcements" - because they're already dead. Mission cannot be progressed.
REPRODUCTION STEPS:
Step 1: Pick up "Jabberwocky" from the mission menu.
Step 2: Set up a torpedo boat. The ship with which I encountered this bug was using the following (only relevant gear/passives displayed):
Step 4: Close to weapons range on the Hidekis. The closer, the easier to reproduce.
Step 5: Activate Tactical Team 1, Torpedo: Spread 3, Attack Pattern: Omega 3, Attack Pattern Alpha 3, and Secondary Torpedo Launchers in any order.
Step 6: Decloak and open fire.
You should see 3 Spread attacks go towards the Hidekis, and a fourth streak off to port/the left. These will impact an invisible target, vanish, and possibly display impact visuals on your shields. When the Hidekis die, the Defiant spawns. Complete the ensuing dialogues and reach stage "Defeat True Way Reinforcements." If you successfully reproduced the bug, no reinforcements will spawn and the mission will be broken.

Yea, wasn't it called something else when it first hit Tribble?
Guess I have to replay it. It's not huge (just one small spawn before that), as it just needs a slight repositioning of the trigger threshold (before the ships, not behind...).
