Not sure if it happens with every merc. I was playing with Bushwhacker when it happened (and it kept happening in every game played).
The bug: If you become incapacitated while repairing the EV / APC you can continue repairing it, if you keep the F key pressed (or the corresponding key in your machine).
It happens at any point of the EV path, not just at the beginning.
Here is a video of the occurrence;

I was checking my notes and it seems, in the Underground map, that the hacking of the gates also continues when the player gets incapacitated.
I had this happen to me a few times yesterday during the playing with devs session. I had another bug with the EV where I was fixing the EV but the progress wheel wasn’t filling.
OK, didn’t know.
It seems to happen with the REPAIR objectives, as I had it happened this time while repairing pump2 in the Victoria Station map.
correct me if im wrong,
whats the point of two+ players repairing the vehicle if it does not speed up the process?

You are correct. I think some players are not aware of it and that’s why you see it happen.
I only go as a second repairer if I’m playing with an engineer and the other guy is not (which is faster).
A small add-on to that if it hasn’t been posted yet. RedEye’s smoke stops EV repair or plant defuses until the smoke is gone. I doubt that’s intentional.
