AB1: "Against the Odds" achievement...sort of broken?

Okay...this is just weird. Playing through Alien Breed: Impact; just completed the single-player campaign on Elite difficulty. My first time through the game as well. At the end, I got achievement pop-ups for "Campaign Veteran" and "Against the Odds," as expected.

But! Here's where the weird kicks in. It shows as unlocked in my Library tab (Screenshot proof), but...not in my community tab. Anywhere.

If you go to my stats for the game, it only shows as 7 of 13 achievements unlocked, not 8, and "Against the Odds" is still locked. Likewise, my blotter history only lists me as unlocking "Campaign Veteran" and "Break out the Arsenal" today.

So basically, I've both gotten the achievement and not. It's Schrodinger's achievement!

Anyone got any theories as to WTF is going on here?

Update: never mind...managed to fix it. I went back and got the "Ain't Got Time to Bleed" achievement. That popped correctly, and when I checked my community tab, it had forced "Against the Odds" to unlock as well. (Although with an incorrect time stamp, but who cares.)
