Alignment-specific techs bug?

Forgive me if this has been addressed in 1.4A . . . I didn't see anything in the notes about it though.
In my last game I wound up being neutral, and my neighbors the Torians were good. At some point they called me up and offered to trade me Arnorean Battle Armor for some crappy tech . . . Well, at least that's what it said in the text box when they contacted me, but on the diplomacy screen I noticed that the trade was actually my tech for nothing. Still, being curious I accepted it to see whether or not I actually got the armor, and it turns out I didn't. So they ripped me off
Later on they called me up again and wanted to trade it (again!) for a different tech. No thanks, jerk. . . hehe . . .
Later on I became a little sick of the Torian's obscene influence (they beat me to the Restaurant and had two influence resources . . . ouch) so I started raiding their worlds. After I took one of their planets the tech I stole was Arnorean Battle Armor. Or at least that's what it told me. I tried making a dummy ship to see if I could use it and it wasn't available to me.
I don't know if there is a problem is with the battle armor itself or alignment-specific techs in general. I never had this happen with any other tech, but that may juat have been chance. Seems like the game is correctly preventing me from actually obtaining the tech, but other parts of the game aren't checking to see if I'm allowed to have it before trying to give it to me.

. I was just curious to see what happened. And later I made him pay *dearly* for cheating me. Let's just say he wasn't a big fan of my disrupters by the end of the game . . .
