Pirate captain held captive becoming my officer

There are some funny things happening to my game as of late... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> I always take pirate hunting missions from the govs to get fame and rank, so I thought I'd grind a bit in Redmond. I take the mission, go to port, sailto and engage. No problem, captain surrenders. I take him captive , sink ship, go back.
Take another mission, go out, sailto... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/keith.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":keith" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> Guess what: the ship has a neutral flag up, but is red on radar. Can't board the first time because it says that I've already boarded it. Okay, I shell out a few broadsides, go back and board. Captain surrenders, and has the same name and icon as the previous. The funny thing is that the guy is in theory, still held in the hold on my ship... Capture again.
I get back to the port, ransom him. Go to gov, take mission, sail out. Same neutral flag but hostile, I sink him, go back, take mission, sail out, and it's him <b>AGAIN</b>!
And this continues for about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Cakebread (the pirate captain) having about 99 lives... I tried executing on the ship while boarding, executing, ransoming and releasing on land, but the guy is very persistent.
After I get bored I check passengers, and I'm shocked to see he's not a captive anymore, but an officer! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

LOL. Yes. Of COURSE it's a feature! (NOT!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
Ruddy bloody weird bugs you're heaving! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
The thing is that I have no idea what happened, as all the other captains have the prisoner icon in the char screen and behave exactly as prisoners should. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />
