It seems that Fleche inflicts more damage against Sectoids in 1.3, because in two different missions the distance between the Shinobi and his targets was roughly the same, but he inflicted 6 - 8 against other targets and 8 - 10 against the Sectoids.

Sectoids take an extra undocumented +2 damage from melee. This is a vanilla behavior and has also been present in all version of LW2. You've just never noticed it before

I thought it was +3 damage.
If the functionality's there, I wouldn't mind LW2 going ahead and, say, giving +3 melee vulnerability to Snakes and Faceless.

Yeah, this was always in XCom 2. I guess because they're naked.

I am slightly surprised no-one has modded in armoured/clothed sectiods.

I thought about the faceless initially but they shouldn' be vulnerable really, seeing as they're just jelly basically

it's a thing if you use meele shinobis more or less often ... by myself i use them for prison or extraction missions very often ... and sectoids are my favourite enemies in this missions in cause of that extra dmg fact

In my experience, jelly is quite vulnerable to being shaped/mangled/separated by a knife!

Yes, but seeing as how faceless reshape themselves at will, being split or re-shaped may not be as effective on a faceless as it is on any other organism, something that destroys a large number of cells completely like fire or explosives would seem to be lore effective.
