Link mastery not working with reflected ailments

Set up:
Allocate the Minion Defence Mastery "Link Skills can target Damageable Minions"
Allocate the Link Mastery "Elemental Ailments are inflicted on you instead of Linked targets"
Socket an Animate Guardian gem and equip the guardian with The Fulcrum unique staff with non-zero modifier values
Link to AG, have it hit enemies

I expected that the link mastery would cause the player to be inflicted by the ailments instead of the AG, but the AG is inflicted with all of its reflected ailments as if the link mastery was not used, and the player is inflicted with no ailments.

----
I did further testing to see if a reflected ailment counted as "inflicted". If the reflected ailments from The Fulcrum aren't "inflicted", then the above behaviour would be expected.

Set up:
Allocate the Protection Mastery
"Damaging Ailments Cannot Be inflicted on you while you already have one
Non-Damaging Ailments Cannot Be inflicted on you while you already have one"

Equip The Fulcrum with non-zero modifier values, and Rashkaldor's Patience to guarantee Shock, hit enemies
Unallocate the Protection Mastery, hit enemies.

In this case, the player is only ever inflicted with Ignite and Chill while the mastery is allocated. When the mastery is unallocated, the player is inflicted with Ignite, Chill, and Shock.



The link mastery and the protection mastery use the same phrasing, but work differently. Based on the current phrasing, either the link mastery should redirect ailments from the AG to the player, or the protection mastery should not prevent the player from being chilled and shocked simultaneously.
