my explanation loses its possibility with the information you have now said.
gold slimes need to eat a gilded ginger to produce plorts, which is different from every other food item. if they counted it as everything else they wouldn't get a chance to eat it before they rocketed off. what you said in your first post was they were hit by it and didn't produce plorts, which would not have been a bug.
what you are now saying (which doesn't contradict your original statement, although it sets your first one to be misleading in wording.) does prove this to be a bug, as you should have gotten 5 plorts per ginger (sure-shot doesn't apply to gingers.)
