That is because status/sec means you will have that percentage of a chance to deal a status proc in that second. Most continuous weapons deal damage more than once in a second however, which is why it's "inconsistent". For the quanta vandal for example, you would need to get the status up to 400% a second because it deals 4 ticks of damage in a second, which is impossible to reach currently even with a status riven or something and max firerate.

So it's not bugged or glitched or anything, it just works a little differently.
