Are maglocks bugged?

I've found some difficult to open but have managed to get into all of them at crash sites so far (did have one in a settlement fail to open.)
When the panel is at an odd angle especially, I think attacking it from a different side might be making the difference for me

edit: while the game is still very much in critical bug smashing mode (especially as you didn't open the panel yet and it's not a relog per se) I don't think relogging from menu is out of order if you've a mission to complete. You might find the panel resets or the crash site respawn more accurately in the terrain. I had one where my target material had spawned underground. On a reload I got it.
I couldn't open three locked lockers in a base that had them either
Some work, some don't 
Yeah tried both different angles and relogging
It might be that your particular POI model/type is bugged then, while mine isn't.
I've come across some lockers that I couldn't cut open. I wasn't sure whether it was a bug or maybe that some are extra reinforced. But it probably is a bug!
I confirm. A POI without name, a crashed vessel and I can't open its maglocks with arc cutter
I had a couple missions with srv s in the bay, but the mag lock wasnt coming open. I looked at it and the scorch marks were spotty, even though I went across it a couple times and I’m pretty used to this so I knew I’d done it right. Still I really wanted the power regulator so I tried it from a few different angles and sometimes I’d get a different effect with a buzzing sound, and when I checked again the scorch marks were nearly there. I went through a full energy cell but I finally got it open. The 2nd one was similar but knowing to try a few angles and listen for the right sound I got it quicker.
so yes they’re bugged but if you really want in and you’re persistent you can get it.
power regulators were dead though
I've not had any problems since "release". If you're using head tracking switch it off when you want to use tools or guns though, as leaving it on makes it much more difficult to line up your tool or aim down sights.
or aim down sights.There is certainly a "knack" to lining things up, but not had any issue other than parts being obscured by the ground. Whether that's intended or not - who knows?

Cutting and looting issues happen from time to time, but so far I've found it to be a rare occurrence.
They're awkward, as the cutter keeps sliding off if you are looking down at the wrong angle, it seems. But I haven't failed to open one yet - just requires moving. Usually the maglocks are easier as they are just a straight line. I often find that the cutter gets stuck on the corner of a maintenance hatch and I have to release it (but I can still finish the cut).
