1.40 / 1.41 - Items used against player do not drop

I am unsure if this is a bug or working as intended, but it seems that in some cases, items used against the player (e.g. weapons of Projection) do not drop when the monster in question dies. This has also resulted in Elite mobs not always dropping an item - although the only examples of that I've noticed so far was an alchemist elite dropping nothing but alchemist gems.
It is possible I was misreading the game text - I tend to be ham-fingered and short of patience in the early game - but I'm fairly sure I've seen this several times already.

Working as intended.
NPC's usually do not drop all of their items (and never did).
It's just that now you can see what they're using.

To clarify, what I noticed was that any item used against me did not drop. However, the sample size was small enough that this could be random chance.

Boss-specific artifacts (like Bill's Tree Trunk) have the greatest chance to drop (depends a lot on the boss), while other random gear from normal npcs drops less frequently.
If, after several levels, you still haven't seen any drops, particularly activatable artifacts, please advise again.
