Instantaneous final Jotun respawn preventing progression

Access the Dark Lens: Cahn's Fragment. Witch down, drone destroyed. Chieftain and neophytes down, drone destroyed. But the final Jotun respawns instantly, and I do mean that fast, such that I cannot destroy his drone. The white line tether from death point Jotun to spawn point Jotun remains intact.
Twin laser turrets installed on the fragment keep me safe, but there is no opportunity to destroy the drone--it's always pink, protected and wired. I have fired at it continuously while the laser turrets work on the Jotun, hoping to "catch" it between death and respawn. Nope.
A sneakily placed reinforced workbench with Suppression nearby did nothing and became a target until destroyed. I have accumulated 26 Jotun bobbleheads! Am I missing something or has anyone an answer so I can complete the game?

I believe the killing blow must come from you so if your laser turrets are doing the last hit of damage it will keep re-spawning.

whoa nice a detonation cord farm
edit: you can delete your excess bobbleheads by tossing them into a bin then select "delete items"

Have you tried hitting the drone with a melee weapon? I couldn't break them with ranged weapons for some reason. There are some weird bugs lately. :(

Thanks for the replies!

Limesy: First dozen attempts were all by me. Incredibly, the first time took 1 cluster rocket, two rockets, 7 mugnades, a laser grenade, numerous slashes with a hardlight saber and more to bring him down. That resulted in a double Jotun body drop, curiously, and after that I started working on the laser turret potential solution so I could hit the drone as soon as the Jotun goes down. I still feel like that first kill was broken it was so costly--he wouldn't go down.
Gamer23: I kinda like 'em, trophy army and all. But yes, the detonation cords are a small consolation keeping me supplied with more...rockets.
arkkumanu: Can't reach the drone with melee weapons!

I'm beginning to think that the issue actually has to do partly with game/my own re-spawn, because I often get sent to the cafeteria regardless of trying to re-spawn in my own bed. My base and bed is in the Particle Lab, a splendid little place behind the Canaan portal.

Bug report submitted a few weeks ago.
