I am unaware of any bugs in that mission. What range have you been engaging the Victor at? MK48s are wire guided. Have you been leaving the muzzle doors open so fire control can correct for aspect changes? Also, Russian naval doctrine states that one should crash dive and maneuver away when a torpedo is close, thus the torpedo would run too deep trying to over-correct.

You also haven't indicated whether the Victor is dropping countermeasures. If it has, it would explain a lot.

EDIT: Here is another thread that deals with the homing abilities of the MK48. The answer may be in that thread.
