Beq Lugg Does Not Face Character in Main Scenario Quest "Food for the Soul"

SHADOWBRINGERS RELATED BUG:

Date & Time: September 02, 2023 10:17PM EDT
Frequency: Unknown
World name: Malboro
Character name: Fayne Yaro
Retainer name: None
NPC name: Beq Lugg
Monster name: None
Class/Level: Black Mage/80
Party or solo: Solo
In-game time: 4:13PM
Area and coordinates: The Ocular (X:6.1,Y:6.0)
Housing: None
Platform: Windows (Steam)

Steps:
1. Start the Main Scenario Quest "Food for the Soul" by speaking with Tataru in the Rising Stones.
2. Progress through the quest until the next step is to deliver the Archon loaf to the Crystal Exarch in the Ocular. Note that the option I chose during the cutscene with Tataru and the Archon loaf was "Smells great!".
3. Visit the Ocular of which I did so via the Portal to the First by talking with the Saint Coinach Ferryman in North Silvertear followed by talking with Ironworks Technologist in the Syrcus Trench to visit the First.
4. When inside the Ocular, speak to Beq Lugg and the bug appears where Beq's head actively looks away from facing the player when speaking with them. Beq's body moves to face the character but their head does not.

Bug was discovered during first playthrough and since I have yet to unlock New Game+, I do not currently have a way to determine the frequency of the bug. However, when viewing public footage shared from other players, Beq does not exhibit the same behaviour as seen in the following YouTube video 1 (10:07 to 10:17) and YouTube video 2 (8:56 to 9:06). Interestingly, I also found the following YouTube video 3 (9:17 to 9:25) which was uploaded more recently compared to video 1 and video 2 where the same bug that I am experiencing is present.

A video of the issue can be viewed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yn0...ew?usp=sharing

The bug can be seen in the video from 0:08 to 0:35 where Beq does not face towards the character even when speaking to them from different angles. When talking to Beq from behind, the head snaps away when momentarily faced towards the character.
