On the junk map (it's junk right? the one with the flag inside the pipe?), if you start repairing and generator is not in the view, it will not repair when you come closer. For example, I was on the bottom, next to INVs, trying to repair stuff; i was able to repair inv/whatever else that was around but it would not repair gens. I even stood right next to them. But if you start repairing next to gens, you can then move away and it will repair them just fine. hopefully that makes sense. It happened on 2 different servers (5150 #3 and CkB server). I also saw this happen to another person.

Weird. Can you possibly grab some video or a demo? Thanks.

It seems to be a recurring theme on certain maps. If you enable the repair pack in a certain spot, it won't let you repair the gens. Usually the Gens at a different elevation, like on Isle.

some sort of zone problem?

it happens when you hit the pack out of range of the gens. If you hit it in range it will work, but if you start it out of range then it will not. I think this has been reported on other maps in beta.

Happened to me as well. And with the effed up packs not being able to turn them off after you started them, u have to wait what seems forever!

An even weirder example of this happened to me on Cavern just now (in demo, not retail). I started repairing the gen and I could even see its health increase. Then some HO came and lobbed a mortar inside the base. I avoided it and together with others around we killed him. In the process I got knocked around quite a bit and the gen got out of my FOV, so the repairing stopped for a bit. I then proceeded to continue repairing (as my pack was still on), but when I went back, it wouldn't do anything. No beam, no sound, no health increase.

happens extremely frequently, I didn't report because I thought you knew. Actually it is fairly disturbing you have not run across it in testing, it happens for some period of most junk pubs.

I tripped over this last night, flipped on recording, then the damn thing repaired just fine. IOW, I've got a very boring recording of me fixing the gen in junk. :\

Yes, I can remember this happening to me and another person on junk. It was quite annoying. I think I've seen it elsewhere, but that's very uncommon.
