Asajj Ventress(Dark Disciple)'s Special "Come Back To Me" Not Working As Written

Asajj's special states that the first time it is used, the targetted ally gains "Disciple", and this works outside of GAC as intended, but when the omicron is turned on and others start the battle with Disciple, then because its already on the field, the check for the first ally to be given it does not work. This can be tested with an allied bounty hunter tank like bossk who doesnt gain it at the start of battle.
