Which card did behave improperly?
Livewire Lash

Which update are you using? (date, name)Which type? (duel, gauntlet, sealed deck)
Manalink dev 778ccb5 version - duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction?
Livewire Lash: "Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell, this creature deals 2 damage to target creature or player."

Fixed in commit 6107440.
There is the issue that doesn't grand the ability to creature so equipped creature isn't the source of damage but Livewire Lash is, so not working with below rule.
Ruling:
The equipped creature is the source of both the triggered ability and the resultant damage, not Livewire Lash. For example, you can target and deal damage to a creature with protection from artifacts (assuming the equipped creature isn’t an artifact itself, of course).

The remaining bug is working properly as of the March 2021 patch. I'll mark this fixed

This is still bugged the source is still Livewire Lash itself and not the equipped creature.

Oh I see. Updated the targeting function in 9a35e4d, which I believe now fixes it. A Goblin Guide equipped with Livewire Lash can now target and damage an Angelic Curator but not a Beasts of Bogardan.
