Locked out of the Ithorian hangar on Citadel Station after switching sides

Agreeing to deliver the droid intelligence to the Ithorians and then betraying them and bringing the droid to Czerka leads to the player getting locked out of the Ithorian hangar. This prevents the player from siding with Samhan in the smuggling quest, as they are unable to retrieve the prototype shield from the Ithorian hangar.

If the player sides with Czerka from the start, they receive stolen Ithorian credentials from Jana Lorso. If the player sides with the Ithorians, the player is able to lie to the receptionist. There is a unique dialogue entry for the player lacking credentials and failing to convince the receptionist, so this might be the intended design, but it still seems like an odd one.

Thoughts?
