I co-own the server I was testing on so I don't play on other servers.

I can get it to reproduce I'd say 3 ot of 5 times. I initially thought that it could be caused from desync so for further reproduction testing the server was rolled back to stock vanilla files (server was only using modified xml values for ce to begin with). While that doesn't completely rule out a server issue it was reproducible using multiple file sets. I also monitored server performance during testing and didn't see any variation outside of normal running conditions.
