What happened?

In the mission Clown Transport (escort1clowns) the transport NPCs are supposed to randomly gain Psychosis (similar to how Cultist Transport NPCs have a chance to get the Husk Infection), however because the Clown Transport mission has two different <Characters> segments defined this never happens (the Cultist Transport mission only has one defined).
Additionally, I think the status effects for the Psychosis are missing disabledeltatime="true", otherwise it doesn't seem like any Psychosis is being applied.

escort1clowns from missions.xml:

<Characters>
  <Character from="outpostnpcs1" identifier="clown" />
</Characters>
<Characters>
  <Character from="outpostnpcs1" identifier="clown">
    <StatusEffect target="Character" delay="60">
      <Affliction identifier="psychosis" probability="0.1" strength="10" />
    </StatusEffect>
    <StatusEffect target="Character" delay="300">
      <Affliction identifier="psychosis" probability="0.15" strength="50" />
    </StatusEffect>
    <StatusEffect target="Character" delay="600">
      <Affliction identifier="psychosis" probability="0.3" strength="100" />
    </StatusEffect>
  </Character>
</Characters>

Reproduction steps

1. Start Clown Transport mission (preferably with shortened delays)
2. Observe how the clowns never gain psychosis
