"The changes below were put in place to fix a bug where some players could no longer progress after unlocking a Gold challenge:
- Combat Mastery goal changed from 9 to 12
- Cerberus Mastery goal changed from 17 to 21
- Reaper Mastery goal changed from 15 to 18
- Geth Mastery goal changed from 12 to 18
- Collector Mastery goal changed from 12 to 15"
The above might solve the bug for those that haven't encountered it yet (= those that haven't completed one of these five challenges). However, for those that have, this didn't fix anything.
Before the patch, I had completed 4/5 of the above (all but Collector Mastery). Just checked my progress into the four I had completed and here's what I found:
Combat Mastery: Current Progress 4/12. However, 6/12 silver challenges show as completed.
Cerberus Mastery: Current Progress 0/21. However 5/21 silver challenges show as completed.
Reaper Mastery: Current Progress 0/18. However 2/18 silver challenges show as completed.
Geth Mastery: Current Progress 2/18. However 9/18 silver challenges show as completed.
As you can see, it is still impossible for any further completions. Personally, if my current progress into those 4 could be zeroed out without affecting the "Number of times completed" information and without affecting the current ability to show the banners, that'd be fine with me. It'd be annoying for those who have significantly made progress into a second regrind, but at this point, I'm not sure what else could be done.
---------------------
As a side note, killing Reaper Husks was painful enough when you only needed one of the three silver challenges to complete Reaper Mastery. For those that haven't completed it yet, requiring 450,000 points may be the single toughest points requirement in any of these five challenges (second is probably Cerberus Guardians). Although solo grinding the first few waves of any gold level against Reapers can be a bit faster than normal Reaper full extraction grinding, I'm sure the intention was that grinding Waves 1 through Extraction repeatedly would finish all points at around the same time. My recommendation is to lower the points requirements for Reaper Husks (and by extension Cerberus Guardians). Possibly 100k, 200k, and 300k instead of 150k, 300k, and 450k would be more reasonable.
