Been trying to wrap my head around it, is it some kind of crossover bug or is offline actually online in some way?
There are two offline modes: one where you enter the regular game and choose offline. That one lets you chat with online people. Then there’s the fully offline client, which you can choose at steam launch. That one has a working chat, but no one will receive your messages. Much like full offline also has MG faction, even though it will give you nothing in return.

But how can it be offline if there is an online component? Does non-true offline require an online connection?
I’m guessing offline connects and your character is stored online. Why you can talk to Global.
Offline offline would mean the character is stored on your computer.
