Can't say I have. But reporting it to support.guildwars.com might be your best idea as it's obvioiusly a bug and they should be informed of it so they can fix it.

Ugh...capturing Echo used to be a huge pain in the...yeah.
I spent 3 hours running back and forth from ember to the closest spawn point trying to catch him using it before the jade bows decimated him...
Once I came close...was actuallying using the signet and he interrupted me...

perhaps he didn't use it before you killed him the first time?

I bet it's because you killed the boss while Echo was still in effect.

When it died, it didn't have Echo; it had two copies of some other spell.

Hypothetically, you should be able to cancel, wait 20 seconds for Echo to wear off (even post-mortem) and recast SoC.
