Is this true for other specialty weapons, like engines-only, weapons-only, and shield-generators-only? This could be a major problem.

As far as I know yes. These weapons do just normal damage against units, which is of course quite low. It has been some time since I tested this and you may search the forum for this problem, but to my knowledge this never has been fixed. I think that it would be very difficult to fix unless as I proposed you allow these weapons to target only ships. That's not really a fix but it eliminates the problem.
