"Test Your Metal" unbeatably bugged

This personal storyline quest is unbeatably broken for me:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Test_Your_Metal

I’ve tried a few times and the ghosts never spawn after the first time I set up the three turrets. When I talk to NPCs they react as though there are ghosts around to kill but they never spawn, even after waiting several minutes, and restarting the mission from the start.

Kind of annoying, I guess I’ll start on another character for now

Did you talk to Snarl (the marked NPC) and select the conversation options marked with a green (story) star? You need to pick both options to proceed, if you walk away or close the conversation tree without selecting a dialogue option, it won’t progress.

I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue. It’s working ok when I try it, but I’ll dive deeper and see what I can find.

Looking at the video, the problem is that you’re looking in the wrong spot. The initial wave doesn’t come from the same location as the ghosts during the cannon trial. They’re inside, by where the turrets are obtained.
