Omen of Corruption doesn't work (at least when you vaal gems)

I just got corruption without any change, despite omen being consumed.

People say it's "extra socket" outcome.
But in case of a max socketed gem it means changeless corruption, while omen supposed to prevent exactly that (according to description).
Pretty buggy behavior if you ask me.

There are 4 possible Corruption outcomes:
1. (25%) No change
2. (25%) Add or subtract one gem level
3. (25%) Add or remove a socket
4. (25%) ±10% to Quality
Omen of Corruption removes only the first "No change" outcome.

I get it. Now.
But description says: "While this item is active in your inventory your next Vaal Orb will always result in change"
But it does not always result in change.
