Pirate Extermination Missions Resetting?

so...
The other night I took on a paid combat mission for a faction I am wanting to imrove my relations with which was to kill 7 pirates in a two of my local systems (not the system where the mission was accepted) ...

I was happily slaying wanted NPC's at USS's left, right and centre, and was slowly racking up the kills for the mission. I say slowly because not all wanted NPC's were pirates wanted in the original system is my guess...

Anyway, I had racked up 15 to 20 wanted kills and of those I had made 6 of the 7 kills I needed for completing the mission and I dropped into a USS and there was this 'competent' wanted NPC in a decent ship and a fed sec ship, anyway I proceed to battle the NPC and after killing him I checked my mission log and the kill count was back to 1...

Has anyone else had this happen to them when doing paid combat missions?
