Sekiguchi Parasitism 3/5 glitch when looting Biotic Sample from other player

Description of Issue - When doing the Sekiguchi Genetics primary contract Parasitism 3/5 you must do three things. Loot a Sparkleaf, go to Bio-Research second floor on the west side and insert the Sparkleaf into the extraction machine and retrieve the Biotic Sample from the machine, then go to Quarantine and inject the sample before exfilling.
However, if you kill a player who is carrying a Biotic Sample and loot theirs it will not progress the contract. Further, if after this you then find a Sparkleaf and put it into the extraction machine it will not create another Biotic Sample. Instead the machine will close, consume the Sparkleaf and show a green icon like it has an item, but nothing will be there. I've attached a video showing this. At the time of the video I'd been waiting in that spot already for around a minute, usually when you put the Sparkleaf in the machine you get the Biotic Sample in a few seconds (I know because I've been trying to do this contract for awhile so I've done it many times and died later before exfilling).

- Repro steps - Before finding a Sparkleaf kill a player carrying a Biotic Sample. Loot the Biotic Sample. Go find a Sparkleaf. Put the Sparkleaf in the extraction machine at Bio-research.
