APA 6th style incorrectly formatting same author, same year citations
I have a few instances of same author, same year citations and they are being incorrectly formatted using the APA 6 style. The APA 6 guidelines state that letter suffixes should be placed after the year when this occurs (e.g., Smith, 2006a; Smith, 2006b; Smith, 2006c).
When I add two citations (same author, same year), the in-text citations format correctly as follows: "(Smith, 2006a)" and "(Smith, 2006b)." However, the references in the bibliography do not format accordingly. They simply appear as "Smith, P. (2006)" and "Smith, P. (2006)," rather than "Smith, P. (2006a)" and "Smith, P. (2006b)."
When I add a third reference by Smith (2006), the in-text citations stop formatting correctly and now appear as "(Smith, 2006)", "(Smith, 2006)", and (Smith, 2006)," rather than "(Smith, 2006a)", "(Smith, 2006b)", and (Smith, 2006c)." The references in the bibliography also continue formatting incorrectly.
I created a new document to try to narrow down the problem, but Zotero formats the citations and bibliography in the same incorrect way. Zotero was previously handling these references fine, but is no longer doing so. The update for this style is 5/25/16.
I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Will see what can be done about it.
I will revert those changes first, so that Zotero team can make a choice of which damage to suffer with, and begin looking into this tomorrow. It may take until the end of the weekend before it's sorted out, and several days after for the fix to work its way into Zotero. Sorry about that.
What can I do to fix this behavior on APA 6?
Thank you so much bwiernik!

With right click: "save link as..."Report numbers for respective bibliography entries are behaving strangely and replacing text with 'NaN'.
They're showing up as 'IW102400-0000-NaN-NaN-0010'
The correct entry (which in Zotero is 'IW102400-0000-NP-RPT-0010'
Any ideas what could be the cause?
all it does is switch out the citation processor for the most recent version.
