BUG 1.32: Fixing glitch on station destroys it

[Valtarien]

I'm on a guild mission for the Teladi to fix three glitches on a station. I fixed the first successfully, but every time I approach the second (either of the other two), the durability bar/indicator above disappears and when I shoot it with the repair laser from my spacesuit, I'm notified that I destroyed it. Upon trying to reload the game after such an event, the game frequently crashes to add insult to injury. I'm playing the GOG version, so it has nothing to do with Steam.
