Burrowgaurd Mentor
Burrowguard Mentor, when given "Offspring 1", will generate a token 1/1 of itself and it even has Trample, but the offspring token will not have the abilities of Burrowguard Mentor. Every other Offspring 1 Token that is generated from other cards comes with the abilities of the card generating the Offspring Token. Please fix this!

This is not a bug. The Mentor's p/t setting ability is a characteristic defining ability. A copy of a permanent with a characteristic-defining ability, where the copy effect makes an exception to what is copied, will not copy a CDA for the characteristic that isn't copied.
707.9d When applying a copy effect that doesn’t copy a certain characteristic, retains one or more
original values for a certain characteristic, or provides a specific set of values for a certain
characteristic, any characteristic-defining ability (see rule 604.3) of the object being copied that
defines that characteristic is not copied. If that characteristic is color, any color indicator (see
rule 204) of that object is also not copied. This rule does not apply to copy effects with
exceptions that state the object is a certain card type, supertype, and/or subtype “in addition to
its other types.” In those cases, any characteristic-defining ability that defines card type,
supertype, and/or subtype is copied
