Kill Skuls badge bugged?

[Techwright]

I realize this is an observation, not a scientific study, but it appears that the Kill Skuls badge may be bugged.  I was taking my latest creation through Perez Park tackling large mobs of Skulls for the badge and began to realize it was taking far longer than the number I was mowing down suggested.  I began to keep closer count of each group and found it was not counting a few on each mob.  At 474, for example, I carefully counted out a group of 12 and took them down only to find 10 were counted.  At other times I'd find up to 4 not counted. 

 

I took into account the bosses that count for the Bonecrusher badge, just in case they didn't count also for the Kill Skuls badge.  The miscount was happening on large mobs with no bosses though as well.

I believe female skulls dont count towards the badge and in order to add them,  players current progress towards the badge would have to get reset.

Correct on female skulls not counting.  (not sure on the reason it hasn't been fixed)

 

There are a couple different mobs where this happens.  Arcachnos for one other.

Correct based on my testing and on previous bug reports I have seen, as noted below:

 

Bug report 1

Bug report 2

Bug report 3

Bug report 4 (which has some nice testing data)

Maybe when they fix that they can also add 'Skulls Boyfriends'. . . .
