But it doesn't explain why point-defense still works. Don't PDC operate under the same rules as other weapons, just with a bonus to hit? I don't think the bonus is anywhere near 550%...

The PD Weapons have 70% bonus to hit and that bonus is specified in the components.txt file. Now that is the catch - all bonuses-to-hit specified in that file are calculated AFTER all other bonuses in the game. So, when standard weapons get 1% chance to hit fighters, PD weapons get at least 71% chance. Basically they never go below 71% (or 70%, not sure).
