Meleeing downed enemies grants no xp but shooting does

[T-T]

First noticed on an incapacitated polar bear, shooting it with a gun advanced the skill, slashing with a sword did not. Tried again on a downed mechanoid centipede, same situation. Both pawns had "burning" in the respective skills. No mods installed.

Huh.
To clarify, "advanced the skill" means gain exp for the skill, or the skill was raised a level? What were the numbers before & after?

Screenshots attached. Melee hit (with steel longsword) on incapacitated target gains no xp for the skill. Ranged hit (with sniper rifle) on same target gains loads of xp for the skill. Both did damage to the target.

Well, it may seem weird at first but I think that it makes sense.
