Quest "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" progresses without doing anything

I got the quest papa was a rolling stone and did nothing for a day or two and then Cleff asked me if had anything yet. I picked the answer "not yet" (in the 6 o clock position). He responded as if I reported success to him, took the holotape and the quest went into the next stage "Give Cliff time to decrypt the data".

Stage one of the quest is still unfinished.

I reloaded and tried again with the same result.

I went back to the earlier save and I will keep my distance from him and the quest location for now. (In case you want me to try something else.)

Sorry for nobody having replied to you since you posted this; I only just now even had this guy spawn in my game (would you believe I hadn't had a single character ally with the faction he's in since SS2 released?). Can confirm this is still happening as of v1.0.15b - I'll throw in a proper Bug Report on it.
 
Another data point.

I loaded the Holotape in the cabin. It downloaded the data, but I didn’t get a message advancing the quest.

Tried a few times. No message.

Went back to see Cleff. My conversation response had 2 “Not Yet” options and no affirmative ones. I picked the Not Yet at 6 o’clock.

Cleff thanked me and took the tape. The quest advanced to “ Give Cleff Time to collect information.”
 
I'm stuck on this quest too. I've popped that tape into numerous terminals in the Institute and nothing progresses. I'm using XDI but I tried both "not yet" options as well as the "wait a while" but no go.

1.0.17b
 
Just saw this today. Actually, you should be able to complete it by going to the Institute. I haven't confirmed it, but I know I included in the design notes for there to be an archive room there that could be used as a secret backdoor option. As far as I know, that should have made it into the final version of the quest.
