Host Chieftain dissapearing from desecrate list

This seems to be a reoccurring bug, as I tried to look into it before posting it here, and found similar bug reports across the last several years.

In any case, I use the Host Chieftain spectere as part of my build, while its alive I can spawn them anywhere no problem with desecrate. However, once it dies, it tends to not be desecrateable anymore. It's not immediately and not every time but its happened at least 4-5 times a day now and is getting very old.

Arena Master - no problem
Carnage - No problem
Stygian - No problem
Host - only problems.

Could use a look into this as its really taking away from the fun having to stop and replace him every 10 minutes because some op arch rare kills it.

Edit : take that back, now I cant even spawn it while its alive.

Picked up new one from Riverways
Went to HO
Cant desecrate it.
Went back to Riverways

Fun.

I am having the exact same problem with my Host Chieftans not appearing in my summon pool. I have to constantly go back to Act 6 to grab one.
Same problem here. I have two Carnage Chieftains and a Host Chieftain. The Host Chieftain can "never" (few hundred tries tops) be desecrated in the Hideout even with one wandering around as a spectre. I keep having to go back to the Ashen Fields and play a game of spot the monkey.

I speculate that since they both have the same visual (perhaps some internal ID? Monster group? Not sure how variations are implemented.), i.e. a big monkey with a club, that they are considered "the same" for Desecrate purposes. Perhaps they're considered variants of the same base monster type and the Carnage Chieftain is being selected every time instead. They are very similar, just two different kinds of charges, which is why one has one of each.
For whatever reason, yesterday this was behaving perfectly for me, I was desecrating both Carnage Chieftain and Host Chieftain in the hideout every time.

I don't know if this was fixed, or is an intermittent glitch I'll see again, but I'll post again here if it returns.

I have recently raised my spectre cap to 4 from 3, but not sure if this is related (I imagine not).
