Odd Custom Critter AI with attacks

I was wondering if any other MA Authors were noticing this...

I was re-testing my arcs (again), and I noticed one of my custom critters was only using the same attack over and over.

It was an Elite Boss with Super-Strength set to Standard (Jab, Punch, Haymaker, Hurl).
But she never used Jab or Punch.

at opening of fight, she used Hurl, and then for a several minute long fight, I watched carefully, and every single attack was Haymaker. With, of course, considerable pauses between the attacks. This made the critter a lot less dangerous than intended, with the really slow attack chain of one...

Of course, I checked the power selection then bugged it.

They were. They made a topic about it:

This issue has been occurring for months now. Melee sets seem to be very susceptible to it.
