EDIT: Okay so I managed to solve this by not accepting the mission from Elander until after I told Ricky that I'd met him. However by reloading a save I found a different issue. Some of the mission triggers don't reset so my journal says I have completed missions that I haven't and I can no longer get the Rouge's ring from Ghoul.
I am also having this issue. Very irritating. Love the rest of the game though.
