I'm on PC and every time I've tried this happens, regardless of story, chapter, operation, map or objective. Buildings from the Way-Mechanic and any carried items can't be placed in the AoE effect like statuses from Heavies, meaning that if a Heavy picks up an objective item they can't drop it if they have an AoE on since it doesn't go away. I can recreate this 100% of the time, just need a Way-Mechanic and a Heavy with a status ability or a carried objective item.
