Weird Frostling Drops

[srmalloy]

Defeating the Frostlings from the "Mysterious Gift" boxes will occasionally drop salvage, but in several hundred such defeats, I have had two that stood out, because they dropped ordinary invention salvage -- an Ancient Artifact and an Unearthed Relic. Is this a bug -- all of the spawns from opening the gift boxes should only drop Candy Canes -- or is this a low-chance, but intended, occurrence?

Were the normal salvage drops in addition to candy canes? They are 'even-level' mobs now, and should drop normal salvage in addition to candy canes.

No, it's an either/or situation -- the currently three times I've received normal invention salvage from a defeated Frostling, it's been just that salvage, no candy cane.
