How broken is brain slug?

Just got my first brain slug a couple days ago and it's not playing right.
1. I get immigrant leaders with brain slugs. Fine. Makes sense, except there are no alien pops gaining the brain slugs.
2. Brain slug trait doesn't represent the percentage of your my pop with brain slugs. It never did, but then I genetically altered my race and now everyone has the brain slug trait. Existing leaders never gained the trait and new leaders don't have it any more frequently.
So, it edits like a genetic trait but leaders get it as a random unrelated bonus. I'm guessing if I went genetic ascension I could remove the slugs as a genetic trait and still get the leaders.

Oh, and brain slug hosts doesn't show up in the empire window so I'm even more confused as to how it's being handled behind the scenes.

Well the theory is like this:
1. Some of your pops be like: WOW BRAIN SLUG POWAH AWESOMEEE.
2. And some of your pops be like: EWW BRAINS SLUG EWWWW NOPE.

So that's why you sometimes get leaders with it and sometimes you don't. xD
In theory at least. xDD

I read the event. The problem is that 100% of my population has brain slugs now, but the same percentage of leaders as when it was 1 pop out of 37.

Well, most things are broken in this game so.. we can just add one more to the list. xD
I landed on that only once and it was long ago, fairly rare stuff.
Rare stuff seems to have a significantly higher probability of being broken.
