PBs automatically destroy all missiles and fighters, heavy as well as
normal, within the area of effect. Just like Wave Guns and Nova Cannon.

Incorrect; read the FB2 updated turn sequence. PBs explode *before* the
Salvo Missiles make their attacks, so any SM salvoes in the PB's area
of effect are destroyed before they can attack a target.

Doesn't the FT FAQ say anything about this? I thought it did, but can't
check at the moment :-(
