Smokinglizards: In the mission "Talkin about a revolution" with the Judy/Clouds sidequest, I tell her about the chip in my head and how it is killing me. Didn't I already tell her this? I swear I did... Well, she is surprised again.
You probably did :)
Because the same thing happened to me. I told her everything about Johnny and what an engram is and got in the later quest, where you are, only prompts to tell her again like it is the first time.
There is also some inconsistency with Judy later in her plot, at least when you play male V (so no romance, haven't tried female yet). The devs have been a bit sloppy here...
