I'm not sure about it bugging relic FATEs, but I do know there was also another annoying bug that occurred during the FFXIII event's final run - for the first stage of the event if you had the daily Hunt active that required the FATE 'Tender Buttons' to be completed (which was also one of the two possible FATEs Lightning could appear in for that event), if Lightning showed up it the bug prevented the player from getting credit on the Hunt bill for completing it, effectively making that daily Hunt bill unable to be completed.

There were dozens of bug reports logged with SE but SE never did anything about it because the event was ending shortly anyway, and as the event has never returned since, it's quite telling of perhaps the real reasons why SE hasn't brought it back.
