Well spotted you may get the Bug Hunter Badge for that.

Maybe, assuming you don't ascribe to urban legend that if you ever mention Bug Hunter in relation to reporting a bug you'll automatically never get it. |

But actually with the recent favorable changes to how epic badges can be earned (i.e. the fix to the age-old problem of having to overcome any power related HP boosts before damage credit is registered for the damage badges) I almost think the Devs might not care if you could use Trapdoor for a heal target. Frankly it'd be pretty cumbersome to set that mission up for a heal farm over multiple sessions considering there are still easier ways to accomplish heal farming.
So while this is an interesting bit of trivia it's doubtful it'll ever be fixed as a "bug" or otherwise. *shrugs*

You can do that with any number of the new NPCs that "become allies" when nearly defeated as well. I don't really see it as a bug nor an exploit. If you have a healing power and want to heal them, I don't see why you shouldn't get credit for it.
As far as Bug Hunter goes.. besides the urban legend mentioned above, there's also the idea that you shouldn't really post details of potential exploits anyway. It defeats the purpose of helping the Devs fix the game if you are just telling everybody how to break it.
Plus, I used my heal on Trapdoor a bunch of times myself, and we all know from Posi that someone who finds an exploit and proceeds to abuse it is not eligible for Bug Hunter anyway.

If you spare Trapdoor's life in the Ramiel arc, he remains a targettable ally, and his health bar stays at the same level as it was when he surrendered (something like 1500 out of his 5000 HP). At this point you can use your ally healing skills on him and get full badge credit.
The arc isn't flashbackable and I seriously doubt it's more efficient than arena farms, but it's a small bit of extra progress (more if you end the fight with Trapdoor still in the lava) until you get bored of it.
