Boff stations: abilities missing

When switching to a new ship, some boff stations' slots cannot be filled.
I switched to a Khitomer class ship and it took a few minutes before I could fill the Lt. stations on the tactical and engineering seats.
It's now been 15 minutes since I switched to the ship, I've tried switching maps and so on and I'm still waiting until I can fill in the Lt Cmdr tac and Cmdr. Engineering abilities.
The issue has occurred before. I fixed itself eventually then, but apparently it is happening more often than just once.

I'm having the same issue. Not only on the Khitomer class but also with the Fek'Ihri Gok'tad Carrier and Breen Plesh Tral Heavy Raider (picture below from yesterday).
I actually had these 3 ships show the same behavior with their space bridge officer stations all in a row on one character and actually ended up getting the Tier 5 mastery trait for the Plesh Tral with the lieutenant science ability missing.
The issue did correct itself on the carrier over night so I'm wondering if a longer log out (i.e. 15 minutes or so) is one answer, similar to a longer log out often resetting things for a glitched mission?
Have tried changing instances, relogging, switching ships, clicking 'reload default' and was wondering if anyone has found a reliable way to work around this issue?
The reload default button does work, but there seems to be some lag in the system recognizing that you actually clicked on it.
It's a case of beam up, click it, perhaps change to a boff without a specialization that fully populates the ability fields, change back to your desired boff, and click it again.
A bit clunky.
Oh dear. I didn't want to mention this but my second post above used to be quite a bit longer. I did everything from verify my game files to every single other thing I could think of.
If you find a workaround that seems to be a sure thing please post it as mastering new ships isn't supposed to be a headache.
You can temporally ignore a single missing ensign or Lt skill but I was missing the Cmdr Sci and LtC tac slots on my Gok'tad carrier.
Latest ship is the Dewan Ikkabar Pilot Escort (T6) where I can't seem to load boff abilities on the LtC science.
I get a ship, put my gear on it and slot what boff abilities I can (in this case all aside from the above). I beam up, and try again. I try pressing reload default without the desired result. I can load Thraak my faithful original science boff without issues with 3 of 3 abilities available but want to load my Nausicaan as he has the right abilities trained. Both are fully promoted to Commander rank and neither are trained in any specialization nor is the LtC science slot a specialty slot. I've relogged.
I managed to load Gravity Well 1 into the ensign position
This is making getting a trait off a new ship far more time consuming than it should be and is likely frustrating for some if their results are like mine.
Nobody wants to "get back to their character the next day to see if anything changed", but unfortunately that's what I'll be doing with this one this time.
I hope this issue gets addressed or a work around is found as there's a KDF recruitment event starting tomorrow and I can't even get a 2 year old level 65 Klingon to work right...
Either I'm missing something relatively simple or this is an issue with the game.
Honestly I don't understand why they are leaving all these bug UNFIXED.
Devs! FIX THE BUGS BEFORE INTRODUCING NEW CONTENT!
A possible workaround that I found was:
1) to go to the BO that has problem
2) change some of his ability and or specialization (like pilot to intelligence)
3) go to the console tab and, for that BO, click on "Reload default".
I'm having pretty consistent success with this. It even seems to work at the shipyard - no map change required, which is an improvement.
