Bug from user point of view, WAD from game mechanics point of view. Weapon with secondary effect hits unit, mirror image negates damage. Weapon secondary effect (another weapon in itself) then hits the unit and effect is applied since mirror image is no longer in existence. Don't know if that can be changed, but we can ask about it. Might require some more procedures to be written into the hit calculations, though, so it could get complex.
