I'll start off by saying that I know this is not a bug. At least not by any definition of "bug" I've ever heard. It's just a dumb thing that can happen. But several GMs have insisted that they can't help me and that I should post here, so here you go. I'm sorry if this doesn't belong here.

Pretty sure my system info isn't needed for this. On the off chance I'm wrong, just say the word.
