i believe thats the standard "clockwork language", not a bug, but is intended to be like their own dialect type thing
edit: ive still not learned exactly what they are saying lol, but i know that it is intentional and other clockwork (ie malfunctioning, resistance, neuron, and antimatter clockwork all have their own dialects which detract from the original)

It is meant to be immersive, they have talked like all along.

City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc
Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr
Vanysh - Eldrytch
Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
If you squint real hard and have a computer background, you can puzzle it out. For example, the first one more-or-less says: "if a citizen escapes the BAF, the clockwork's task is to return the citizen to the BAF".
The second one is evidence for the lack of Asimov's Laws of Robotics in Praetoria (not that anyone's surprised about that).
Quote of the moment: This, too, shall pass.

The Praetorian clockwork have been talking like this since the beginning. I love trying to figure out what they're saying, and yes, each type of clockwork has it's own dialect. The resistance-hacked clockwork use a mix of lower and upper case almost like internet leet-speak, very cool stuff.

Whoever thought this stuff up gets a gold star.
I think you're missing OP's point - the first two are talking in the NPC channel {the blue color}. The third is in Local {white}.
The clockworks have been talking like that for as long as players have had access to test Praetoria.

Obviously nothing to worry about.

[NPC] Cleaner: If RES.ATK(PRA) Then CWK.ATK(RES); If CWK.ATK(RES) Then RES = !ALV
The are so presumptuous. I love it!
On a side note, that one talked in NPC, not local.
I think this is a bug. All the Praetorian cleaners are emitting script code in local..
Examples:
[NPC] Sweeper: CIT[ESC(BAF)]; CWK.TSK = RTN.BAF(CIT)
[NPC] Sweeper: PPL.ATK(CWK); CWK.TSK[DEF(CWK)] > CWK.TSK[CLN(PRA)]; CWK.TSK = DEF(CWK)
Cleaner: If CWK.SEE[ATK(ADJ)] Then CWK.RSP(RCP)
