You're not the only one who has witnessed this; I have a 4-tick Bleed Weapon for which I have often seen The Enemy suffer as few as only one Bleed tick.
(The next time that it happens, I'll make a picture of it and either edit this Post or put it into a new one.)
Hopefully, it's just a bug of some sort to be fixed in subsequent versions of HV.....
Perhaps you are hitting the same monster again and next bleed which is shorter duration overwrites current bleed? I'm not sure if it work that way, just an idea.
