Mission to source slaves. Bug, exploit or WAD.

I was doing a few missions for local factions yesterday trying to build up rep when I came across the mission to source two slaves. This is the same as any other go fetch mission where it gives you twice the galactic average for the cargo. I often avoid one involving slaves because they are hard to source and usually illegal.
However on this occasion I was in an anarchy system which sold slaves, in fact they were they reason I was there as I had another source slaves mission in a nearby system (doing the illegal get in the docking bay before scanned fun). Basically this was allowing you to go straight to the commodities market and buy them to complete the mission. A while later I was back in the same system and the mission was there again.
Has anyone come across this before? I always thought the ‘go fetch cargo and we’ll pay you’ missions gave you a commodity that you can’t get in that particular system, otherwise it would not make sense.
 
I've seen the same thing a few times, 'go fetch me some slaves from a far flung system and bring them back here illeagally', 'oh wait, just pick them up from the station market, yes that will do fine'. I suppose someone else brought them back and now they are for sale
 
it sometimes happens with Hydrogen Fuel too I've noticed.

Hope they leave it in, is always a bonus. Makes you always check th boards carefully...

like the "I'm looking for X" "they have an advert, on this notice board" from Frontier...
