TM-35 mine placing completion

I think that I have noticed a bug with TM-35s recently; I either kill or force a combat engineer squad to retreat while placing a TM-35 mine, then when I walk over the location, it goes off.

For example, I see a combat engineer placing a TM-35. They just started, so I walk my grens over there within rifle nade range, fire the nade, and kill three models. By this time it's about half way done. Then, I either kill the last model, or my opponent retreats it before the progress bar completes. After moving over the spot where the mine was being placed, there's a soundless explosion (is that also a bug? TM-35s not making a boom when detonating since sometime in beta/early relace?), and a few grens die.

Has anyone else experienced this or thinks they have experienced this?

I could just be...mis-remembering and fatigued, but I'm pretty sure I've experienced this multiple times.

Ive had mines explode on my engineers the moment they are completed, killing the squad with no enemies nearby

I have seen this a long time ago, unfortunately I don't have a video for proof, but I have lost my own engineer squad due to mine explosion right after they have done placing it. There was no fire fight nearby and I was placing it behind my lines.

Apparently the crawling, wounded enemy soldiers (the sort you interrogate using the G43 package as ostheer) will detonate completed mines, so if you finish a mine on top of them, not only can the enemy see you placed a mine, it will instantly detonate and kill your squad. Just another thing to deal with when you decide to place mines.
