I'm not sure if this is truly a Weaponsmith issue or a general Core Systems issue as I've only encountered this with weapons being pulled from a crate and sometimes inheriting the puller's name as Object Creator. For example, I would offer crates of my weapons to my merchant's vendor (thecrates do show my name as Object Creator on the crate), and when the merchant pulls a weapon from the crate to stock the vendor, sometimes the pulled weapon will show the merchant's name as the Object Creator.
Now I've heard about the factory bug that inherits the factory owner's name as Object Creator, but these weapons all had my name listed on the schematic, we're built in factories I own, and my name is retained on the crate itself. It's when the weapon is pulled from the crate by someone other than myself will it list a different name, the puller's name. This irks me to no end.
All I'm asking for is to give credit where credit is due. For now, I've been pulling out singles and putting them in bags and offering the bags to the vendor.
I have done some testing and been noticing that it tends to happen more often if the puller examines the crate prior to pulling out a single. Yet other times it doesn'thappen and the rightful Creator is retained. I've also noticed that sometimes you can pull several items with the correct name and some may list the puller's name all from the same crate.So nothing really concrete yet, has anyone else found the same?

I thought they fixed this issue a long time ago? My slicer has been pulling items from crates for I think at least 6months and my name is still on the creator tag. He then offers the sliced weapons to my vendor and I accept them and post them.

I'm the creator of the PSG I pulled from a crate today.
Did you make them 
I think any crates made after the patch that corrected this matter will retain the creator's name, but anything made before will still be bugged.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. The smuggler that I get to slice my weapons ends up being listed as the creator. I think this appeared about a month ago.

yea this is a core systems issue, and recently we had some issues with ppl buying crates of stuff on tempest and reselling them after they pulled em out of the crate....
