4) The circumstances of the bug or precise steps to produce it.
I sent a squad to a network tower to neutralize it. I got one of my specialists to the tower console and hacked it with the Gremlin, causing the cutscene to play, and stunning all enemies on the map, including a couple of MEC units nearby. While one of the MEC units was still stunned from the tower hack, I tried hacking the MEC itself, and once the hack was complete, the tower cutscene played again, and all units on the map were stunned again.
5) Whether you are able to offer a savegame for us to look at.

Re: Network Tower: Hacking tower stuns MEC, hacking MEC repeats tower cutscene and stuns everything on the map again
This is a vanilla bug, though perhaps LW2 devs may do something about it (i.e. a practical workaround).
Some enemy-affecting hacks (stuns, control enemy unit, etc) will be endlessly repeated again upon any later hacks in this mission performed by the same specialist. Any time a subsequent hack is finished - whether in a success or a failure, it doesn't matter - the lamp-post hack effects will be applied again, stunning/controlling enemies/etc yet again.
I'm not sure which hack effects are prone to this bug, personally I've seen it happening for 1) Stun enemies; 2) Control enemy MECs; 3) Control enemy units.
Needless to say, it usually gives you overwhelming advantage when it happens.
