As the description says, this bug has been a constant presence in all of my Tahm Kench matches since a couple patches ago. I wanna say it was patch 6.12 or 6.13 that this first started occurring. If you want, I can go through all my other replays and pull up dozens of occurrences of this same bug for research purposes. I thought 3 times in one 20 minute match should suffice, though.

OP, I filed a Pbe bug report on the issue for you and cited your name and I linked this thread to it. Hopefully with your very clear repro info they will be able to solve this rather quickly. I hope you don't mind.^^

This happens even without the Q, I play Tahm a bit and it happens all the time to me.

I just tested it out a bit in a bot game, and it seems that if you Q+W a minion when it is low, it does that bug. But if you just walk up to a low minion and W, it will shoot out like normal. It looked like it did this to regular minions, but not cannon creeps.

Looked like the minions died from the Q damage when you ate them.

Wait, I'm almost entirely certain I know what the culprit is now. If you pay close attention to the last example, the caster minion's attack continues traveling to the minion even as it's inside Tahm's belly. The minion must not be getting made untargetable quickly enough for it to become invulnerable to minion aggro before it dies when it's low enough to die to it prior to the devour. So it dies to the minion aggro while inside Tahm's belly, thus leaving him with nothing to spit out.
