Non-corrupt Headhunter counts as a Vaal unique for cultivation orbs. Corrupts to a different belt.

I was cultivating some Vertex helmets and also had a non-corrupted Headhunter in my inventory that i was planning to double corrupt. HH had the highlight box around it when i clicked to use the cultivation orb. I thought surely it didn't actually work so i clicked on it. It turned the HH into a different worthless unique belt and corrupted it.

Don't really care this league because HH is so cheap, but this should be fixed if the temple is going to remain in the game in 0.5 and beyond. Some poor soul is going to try cultivating their only HH thinking it will give them some crazy stat and then end up with no HH at all

There you have it. I guess I should learn to fully read item descriptions. Whoops
