This is not a bug.

The 3rd attack of the guardian’s sword AA chain, namely “Sword Wave”, is actually a projectile attack. If you pay attention to the animation, you can see the 3 piercing bolts propelled in a cone in front of you, each striking up to 3 foes with a range of 300.
There is no “melee” damage produced by this attack, only projectile damage.

The two situations that you describe involve foes surrounded by a projectile absorption shield, that’s why the 3rd attack in your sword AA chain does 0 damage to these foes, thus rending this weapon a very bad choice for these particular fights. You’re better off camping greatsword (although Whirling Wrath does reduced damage too) or replacing your sword with a mace.

Hope that helps !
