"Missing Vendor Name" in "Spellbound" Side Job - did this affect Nix's vendor inventory?

Was disappointed by this moment in the side mission "Spellbound". The contact Nix tells me he knows some powerful old hacks. I have the option to "learn" from him, which if selected opens him up as a vendor. But the quick hacks he offers are all basic green things -- the same as those from the first mission where you get the free Ping hack.

Then I noticed where the name Nix should be on the vendor screen, it said "Missing Vendor Name" (see image). Maybe this is a bug where there is a version of Nix as a vendor who actually sells some rarer quality hacks?

Also notice the yellow circle/exclamation point on one of the vendor's hacks. It's the same free Ping hack as the first mission, and it still shows as being a free item!

I'm noticing the same problem ... plus, i got the next part of the mission "Spellbound", after a call from Nix. He asked me to talk together.
After the dialogue with Nix, telling me to call R3no. He send me the contact. But i can't call him.
I tried a couple time, and differents ways. First time, I received a call during this dialogue. So I decided to load a save 5 minutes ago and wait to receive the call before the dialogue. Useless. Next tries failed too

Yeah I am super bummed that this never got finished! What a cool idea for an intel check. Even just gifting a random purple quickhack would have been... something.

Same thing happened when I helped a street vendor confront some people. He offered a discount or something and was excited to trade, and then it was just 'missing vendor name' with no inventory.
