Some of my characters can't place any siege weapons

This was initially noticed during the recent Vengeance campaign, but following the end of the test the issue is still lingering so I am posting it here too as well as having submitted a shorter report via the help menu in game.

I am having a weird issue in that I can't place any siege items with some of my characters. I am not getting the "over the limit" message or the "too close to others" message. I have even tried at the gate where you port in just to see. It is also not a more than one piece/type at a time issue as I have not been able to place a single item with the ones that are having problems.

The outline for all the siege items placement is yellow. Just nothing happens when I try to place them to use.

I can use the repair kit and the tri-pots without any issue.

I have removed everything from the wheel and added them again with no change.

These are the toons I have tested and which work and which don't.

CP level arcanist, alliance rank 21 - can place.
CP level templar, alliance rank 21 - can place.
CP level dragonknight, alliance rank 4 - can't place.
Level 40 nightblade, alliance rank 3 - can't place.
Level 21 necromancer, alliance rank 7 - can't place. Rank 10 now and still can't place any.

I first noticed it in battle with my necro but then tested with the others, who, other than my arcanist, have done nothing in either Vengeance campaign (other than today when I have placed a siege in the quick slot and try and fail to place it).

It does seem that low alliance rank is the common theme for those that can't place items. Not sure if it is a bug or something deliberately implemented.

I am on PC EU.

ETA: Following the end of the Vengeance test I decided to see if they still had the issue. I tried in Grey Host, the no CP and the under 50 campaigns for those who could access the last one. Same issue in all of them.

I then did more google searching and found someone else here on the forums who had the same issue back in February this year. They were able to place by pressing the interrupt key/button after the yellow circle appeared. Tried that it it worked. I would add that while I have no idea about the other player, my interrupt key is bound to numerical keypad number 6 and therefore not anywhere on the touchpad which I used to place the siege in the first place.

As far as I can see, the settings for my characters are all the same, certainly in relation to keys that I use all the time, though of course since key bindings are set to character and not account (something I hope will be changed in the future) I could have missed one. But I definitely haven't missed anything else set to the key I have for interrupt as I have just checked every single one, and it would be one heck of a coincidence if the other player with the same issue in February had set their interrupt key the same as mine. So I doubt it is the setting of that key bind that is the issue.
