This may not be a bug. The efficiency of the bilge pumps diminishes the deeper your sub goes, as they struggle to pump the bilge water out against the external water pressure. The pumps run at max efficiency down to 30 m, then get less efficient the further down you go. After 100 m depth, the pumps are ineffective, which certainly makes for a race against time! AFAIK the diesel generators make no difference to the pumps. Your reactor is pumping out far more power than the generators could ever hope to.
