I think it is a bug. The application of a debuff is viewed as an "attack" as it can be dodge and doesn't trigger non-attack passives, see Poe and BB-8 / Akbar interaction for examples. This is no different, it is the application of a debuff that needs a target to apply. Since MF cannot be targeted, as long as there are at least two eligible targets, MF should not be able to be selected as a random target.
Spy is placing one taunt on the targeted ship when being chosen as a reinforcement and then applying a second that doesn't have taunt at random it is not targetting Falcon at all.
As for the issue itself, Why should this be treated any differently than the interaction between taunt and stealth?
The selection of a random target is still targeting. "Random" just indiciates the method in choosing the single target, not the act of targeting itself. The Falcon, based on its ability description, should be excluded from the pool of eligible ships to be targeted/chosen at random. It's no different than other games where you need to choose a target at random, say by rolling a dice. The action is still to target, it is the selction that is removed from the players hand.
And it's not being treated differently than the stealth / taunt interaction. The core issue is whether HMF can be the target of an abiility, no matter how the target is selected.
