Apparently the reason for MM to change this was the special mine warheads with these types of damages. Previously these warheads couldn't damage at all a ship with armor and/or shields but still the mines exploded all. But the real fix for this bug IMO would have been (as suggested to MM) that mines only explode if they can do damage. This kind of change was done for the weapons with the special damage type, why not for the warheads.
Perhaps one way to deal with this (if this is possible for MM to do?) would be to make shields have a short delay before being 'raised' in combat. Say 0.5 seconds or something. That would give time for mines to affect shielded targets, and shouldn't greatly change ship-ship combat.
