Update guys:
Did a quick test for the Damage Reduction part:
1st fight
2411 tai pen, 2172 nin pen vs 2779 damage reduction
CRIT: 2769, 2701, 2654, 2858, 2837, 2825, 2840, 2845, 2789, 2697, 2714, 2755, 2875, 2686, 2785, 2691, 2762, 2673
Average: 49846 / 18 = 2769 damage
2nd fight
3482 tai pen , 2976 nin pen vs same 2779 damage reduction
CRIT: 2764, 2684, 2835, 2721, 2667, 2675, 2654, 2770, 2751, 2688, 2755, 2733, 2692, 2845, 2846, 2694, 2770, 2826
Average: 49370 / 18 = 2742 damage
Less damage with 1k more tai/nin pen, because of small amount of examples
the test was against me. the results we got showed there was no effect. I have still the doubt MB standard attacks are special cases, so we will retry it tomorrow with other ninjas :-)
If this is going to be confirmed with more tests, i can see just 2 position for us to take.
1) p3netration/resistance is bugged and doesn't work. It will be fixed by a later patch (like mystery delay) and we just need to wait to receive it from CN. This could be the reason why tencent waited 2 years to test this officially.
2) It's a whale stat. In CN is not inusual to see people with 7+ k p3netration/resistance without spending directly in it. Maybe it's like control and you need some big numbers (which we don't have yet) to effectively feel the difference.
Both me and ICEx made more tests and the results didn't show any difference (he will update this later, i think).
So, right now, is likely to consider it bugged as you say (i doubt is true the 2nd you said, but who knows).
Maybe, when we get next patch, lets call it 5.0, we get it fixed.
EDIT: i tested it also together with Eplox, by removing all our equipment, so we had very low stats. still there was no difference even if we had 4-5k def/res (if worked a 3k pen should do as much against a 5k def/res as a 7k do against a 10k def/res).
