Apply Combat Hit Spell Bug

[lofgren]

I've been working on a mod that uses the Apply Combat Hit Spell perk entry. After editing the perks a bit, they stopped working. This was completely safe to do in Skyrim, but in Fallout it appears there are some bugs associated with the entry. While casting about on the internet, I found speculation that the perk entry stops working:

 

When the perk is edited in the CK

 

Randomly when moving between cells

 

For whatever reason

 

Removing and re-adding the perk doesn't seem to help.

 

I was wondering if there was any more up-to-date information that I didn't find. Were the limitations of Apply Combat Hit Spell ever determined? Is there any workaround, for example removing the perk before editing it? For now I've been starting a new game to test, but it is less than ideal. Clearly the perks acquired during the course of the base game don't suffer the same problems – unless they do?
