Unlikely. Plasma weapons need to deal quite a lot of damage to gib a living enemy (200% max health). As for corspes, shotguns in general do not damage corpses who were dead before the attack, only explosions do.
Unless there is something very specific going on, it's probably not a bug. And, with a stall of D***RL development, there's probably no one who would fix a bug anyway ...
Amnesiac:
Thanks. Well, the original plasma shotgun or plasmatic one does gib corpses, seems to always work from any range. But once I added another P to my PN plasma shotgun and made it into assembly it supposedly turned to non-plasmatic shrapnel type as I understand it.
Making it into assembly isn't even critical as it has capacity for 10 shots and I mostly used it for gibbing in an ao666 game, but I wanted less waiting.

Ah, that makes it clear then.
PN-plasma shotgun works just fine, as you mentioned, but by adding another P mod (and not cancelling the following "Do you want to create the assembly?" prompt) you created a nano-shrapnel shotgun assembly, which changes the damage type to Piercing (without regard to original damage). Piercing damage doesn't gib corpses at all.
If you had cancelled the "create assembly" prompt, you would end up with a PPN-plasma shotgun, as you probably wished. If you did not receive such a prompt at all, that would be a bug.
Amnesiac:
If it's really piercing damage, then it's pretty cool as the loss of 3 dices isn't as big, that's good to know. Wiki says "original shotgun blast" so I confused it with the damage type, it does say piercing damage now that I look closer. I intentionally assembled it, so no bug there.

By that it means it keeps the type of shotgun blast the shotgun previously had, e.g. a Double Shotgun will still have a wide blast, a Combat Shotgun will have a focused blast, a Plasma Shotgun will have a plasma blast (which despite the name, does not necessarily equate to plasma-type damage), etc.
