I have read through the patch notes for 2.0 and I can't find any reference for intention for this specific behavior. Turrets were tweaked to be more accurate against slower targets and more aggressive to enemies out of phase, but this is all that is referenced.
I think that one may be a glitch or it’s the “invisible turret” essentially there will always be one turret you cannot destroy or see that can shoot you to stop mosquitoing it’s been in the game since launch (tho I have never experienced it myslef
This is an intended mechanic.
It is part of their attempt to stop people just driving right up to the hull and "mosquitoing"

The patch notes are scarce on details, focusing more on the intended effects.
I saw another post where an "extra, internal turret" was hypothesized, but maybe it was firing from the opposite side, as you pointed out?
