Pretty Sure that's by Design. It doesn't behave like a glitch Also the Health on the Spawned Characters is Much Lower However there isnt enough Tape in the World to contain them.
I had plenty of ammo to deal with them , I didn't die once there and there is plenty of coins, ammo, and the novelist to grab before doing that, they also dont need to be taped since they dont re- appear when you go back into the room
