Severe Input Lag on Console on Rare Occasion

This issue doesn't happen very often but when it does it is game breaking...

Note: This post is not about the 'miniscule' input lag that may be present all the time, this is more severe.

What happens is the following:

You feed some input through the 'aiming stick' without the game processing this input for half a second. Because your character doesn't aim in the direction you are inputting, you keep the stick pointed in that direction. After half a second has passed all of your input that was previously ignored is now processed and your character turns quickly.

Some interesting details:

• It can happen when driving your drone.
• Input from the 'moving stick' is processed without fail during this whole process (true for drones & operators).
• There isn't any 'stuttering' (which can happen on console when there's an explosion where lots of physics are involved).
• There isn't any noticeable drop in the frame rate.
• As far as I can tell the rest of the game is moving along just fine.
• You can't reproduce it, 'it happens when it happens'.

It's happened to me on PS4 maybe 10 times in total, where more than half of the occurrences has been post 2.0 patch. If it was a hardware issue all input should have been ignored, but it isn't. As mentioned no other signs of hardware stress is present either (frame rate, game freeze/stuttering, etc.).
