Taken By Surprise: Abnormally Low (or Diminishing) Mission Rewards

"Taken By Surprise" has much lower mission rewards than previously released.
(The same applies for "Wish Upon A Star", actually.)
See the image below, for rewards available to a level 65 character:
Looking back at "A Day Long Remembered", we see over 18k experience points, 14k expertise and 720 Dilithium ore, which is a 'normal' reward for a first-run through a mission.
Jumping to "The Fujiwhara Effect", the experience points and expertise are similar rewards, but the Dilithium is reduced to just 384.
(This anomaly affects mission rewards throughout the 'Terran Gambit' story arc.)
Finally, looking at "Taken By Surprise" we see just 3750 experience points, a measly 450 expertise and absolutely no Dilithium ore.
What's going on with these mission rewards? Is it a bug and the rewards aren't scaling up to level 65 properly?

I even brought it up in General Discussion where I believed it would get more visibility here:

No dilithium for the new mission has to be a bug. Heck, the rewards for the whole mission has to be bugged. Those experience and expertise numbers are incredibly low.
