Running 0.96a-RC8

I picked up some academy missions and headed to Sindria. I noticed the debris field from Macario's agent's fleet was still at the fringe jump point, despite the fact I had already returned the data to him some time ago (I don't remember how long ago). I investigated it and the same dialogue appeared, allowing you to collect the data again. Also the debris field allows you to repeatedly investigate it.
If you bring this data to Macario, you can repeatedly "give him the data" by selecting any option when talking to him. He doesn't reward you with more EXP or more Executors but you do repeatedly gain story points.
If you select "My silence is very much for sale" when talking to him over and over you can also get infinite money too.

I don't think any mods I'm running could affect this but here's a list anyway.
Mods running currently:
Spoiler
LazyLib 2.8
SpeedUp 0.7.2
Stellar Networks 3.0.0
GraphicsLib 1.7.0
[close]

I do remember when first attempting to reach the debris field, the mercs defending it got caught up in a battle with some pirate merchants, so I just snuck past them. After investigating the merc fleet tried to emergency burn after me despite still being in a battle.

I have a save from before investigating the field for a second time, if it's needed.
