Of course, since PDC fires every round, it can still kill the light missiles as easily as it kills the regular missiles - it's just doing it every turn instead of waiting two turns in between shots  Perhaps if PDC only fired every other round...
LMS and CSM operate as separate stacks and PD damage does not transfer from one to another. Thus, if PDC fires on LMS, it is out of use for that round and CSM can reach the ship. It really helps to have one LMS on almost evry ship to distract PDC from fighters and CSM.
