Engineers I unlocked engineers without doing anything

This is weird, although I'm not complaining:

I've recently started a second CMDR. While trying to travel 300 ly away from my start location to unlock Elvira Martuuk, I suddenly got messages from both Martuuk and the Dweller welcoming me to their bases, complete with grade 1 access. Firstly, I was pretty sure I had another 30 ly or so to travel to reach 300. Secondly and much stranger, I have supposedly delivered 3 units of Soontill Relics to Elvira to gain grade 1 access. Which of course I didn't, because I haven't even been near her home system.

Similarly, the Dweller seems to be under the impression that I have already traded on 5 black markets (nope, I traded on exactly 2), and that I've paid him 500,000 credits. Again, I have never visited him so far.

The other 3 early engineers (Farseer, McQuinn, Ryder) don't seem to be hallucinating.

Has anyone here ever observed this behaviour, too? I mean, it's not exactly unwelcome.
 
Ha. And I was wondering if I had Alzheimer's, for having some of those engineers unlocked on my Alt without remembering actually jumping the hoops. Turns out it is a bug, who would have thought?
