You're right, I can replicate it. Happens when only excavating a single octahedron. By the way, if you turn off tabs it works, so it's an issue when creating tabs. Weird because this has been tested against so many cases. I'll try to figure out what's happening.

I found a fix, but it won't be available until the next major release, which will be a while

It can also be done easily by putting an octahedron into a memory and excavating the cuboctahedron from there.
