I'm aware of that. However, I can certainly imagine a way of coding guns in general and PDCs in particular that would make PDCs require the availability of an unused targeting slot, even though they don't actually consume that targeting slot once they fire.
This would result in the behavior I think we're seeing--on ships without combat sensors, PDC can fire before the main guns but not after; on ships with combat sensors, the problem is significantly lessened.
I'm at work, or I'd run some simulations to confirm (or disprove) my theory.
