Odd Favor Situation

All right, I realise this is a unique situation and may have to be dealt with by an app, but I thought I'd post it here first in case it is something to do with code.

I have a priestess of Lurue. She's CG, but code-wise she follows Mielikki so she can go places a priestess of Lurue would be able to go IC (such as Ardeep). I think this has caused me to both gain and lose favour at the same time, because of alignment.

When I gain a favour point, currently, this is the echo I receive:

You cremate the corpse of a kobold sentry.
Your incompatibility with your patron's belief has displeased them greatly.
You sense that your patron approves of your actions.

You cremate the corpse of a kobold sentry.

I know that having extreme favor in either direction is either beneficial or detrimental depending on the circumstances, so while I don't use it IC to supplicate for things, I also don't want to get terrible rolls because my alignment doesn't mesh.

Is this the reason this is happening, or is it a bug? Thank you very much!

The issue is because your character's CG alignment. You are losing favor because you are of the wrong alignment and then gaining it for doing a good action.

Mielikki, as shown in the help file, only allows NG and TN clerics. Now, Faiths & Avatars, Powers & Pantheons, and Faiths and Pantheons all disagree and allow CG clerics for both Mielikki and Lurue. Therefore I have adjusted Mielikki's faith to allow for CG clerics and updated the help file.
Chaotic good is now a valid alignment for clerics of Mielikki.
Done.
