Tip mission Devoured earth bugged?

I've noticed over the last couple of days that the Devoured Earth in the new tips missions have 2 apparent bugs.

1) They spawn bosses even when set to "no bosses". I noticed it the first time then ran another non-DE mish and it didnt spawn bosses.

2) They have higher than normal to-hit chances. On my elec/shield (almost exactly at the soft-cap) all the ranks (even con) have between 19-25% chance to hit me. I tested this against a single minion, Lt and boss with no Quartz spawned anywhere in the mission (with a quartz up they have a much higher chance to hit than 20%). Using the power analyzer they don't show any acc bonuses beyond the normal Lt and boss bonus. I check the real numbers on the attacks they used and they don't show any higher than 1.00 acc. I also checked some normal zone DE and they didnt show any higher than normal chance to hit.

Now I know that lvl 50 DE spawns have been bugged for quite some time and they would only spawn the rock type minions/Lts and only at lvl 49. I don't know if the changes to overcome this bug has cause these other ones.

Has anyone else noticed similar issues?

Level 50s: to many to remember at this point

I can't speak for point 2 but I did notice a DE boss had spawned when my difficulty was set to no bosses.

Have noticed the same thing as far as boss spawns. This is true of any level 50+ mission where you encounter DE, not just the tip missions. The DE bosses are not being replaced by the LT version. I am not sure on the lower levels however.

As far as the to hit thing I have no idea. I have not tracked that. But it would explain why I seem to be getting hit more on those missions even after I pop a luck if needed.

I did bug the spawn thing when I noticed it.
