Slave Missions bug?

Once every about 5 trips between two systems i can get a mission to deliver 2 slaves, all you seem to have to do is buy the slaves in the same starpoint go back to the missions and complete the mission for an easy 20 to 30,000 worth of credits.
 
You get that with other commodities too. It's certainly know about. Whether it's a bug, an exploit or 'working as intended' is another matter
 
I used to enjoy this 'bug' a lot, but recently the demand for slaves has crashed.

I currently have 5 missions ready to be delivered - all requiring 2 slaves for 'reputation gain'. Now I have the slaves they are valueless.
 
This can also happen for common commodities - I see it a lot with Hydrogen Fuel.

I am not sure it's a bug, as much as a lazy mission-giver and a reward for the sharp-eyed trader. Frontier did a similar thing sometimes.
 
I've seen this at ports with other things, like Nonlethal Weapons.

I just figure, particularly since it's the Empire, that the mission comes from a nobleman who is above such pedestrian things as shopping in the commodity market.
