Jonin minato and masked man have two kinds of evasions, the first is standard attack evasion, the second is mystery evasion. While standard attack evasion wholly avoid the standard attack and so also the poison application of poison tai (and infact when they are hit by a standard attack they avoided no poison gets applied), mystery evasion do not work in the same way and while it avoids the damage itself, does not instead avoid any other secondary effects li
The effects that apply poison tai on minato and masked man are ONLY avoided mysteries with a taijutsu component in them and they do so because is meant to be so, is not a bug.
Beware that this does not work at all only for poison tai but, for example, works also for Midnight Blade 4th mystery that even if is avoided still apply tag on minato and masked man (situation you will begin to experience a ton as soon as cloud blitz teams becomes more common). The reason why the things work so is pretty simple and is the fact that while makes sense that you can avoid wholly one standard attack just because there are at least 4 per round that go off, does not make sense that those ninjas wholly avoid also secondary effects of mysteries because, otherwise, they would be too strong if are not in front row.
p.s.: Yes, i get that could not make much sense in a strictier way to intend evasion but i never seen one of you masked m(an u)sers that came here asking: 'why my masked man that got immobilized by his mystery effect reflected is able to evade a standard attack or mystery even if is immobilized? This doesn't make sense!'
