They were supposed to be looked into and fixed. I think it was mentioned over in the Tribble forum that these torpedoes were unintended and would be looked into to find the cause.
Yesterday, I got hit for ~35k from a cube (not tactical) during the new hive STF. Not fun.
Those never left, week prior to S7 patch i got my latest KDF MG-46 hit by a 102k(204k) torpedo at KSN. My gear included blue mkXi kinetic res consoles on a cruiser, and purple Xii covariant shields (Cap)(pla)(???) with a tanking purple Xii deflector
Last night in Into the Hive, I was blown up 3 times and nothing was near me at all. Least nothing I could see. My combat log said otherwise as I was killed by invisie torps...
I think you will find that the reason its "more obvious" is they nerfed the common Borg engine/deflector + assimilated console + some other shield combo a lot of us used .. as the console is no longer part of the set, we went from a 3/4 to a 2/3 and lost one of the auto defence systems that helped
