Interesting. What's the source of your character's poison immunity?

Found the culprit. A fix will be live within the next few days!
For the record, this is also an issue with psychic and bleeding damage until the fix is live.

Okay. Just went back and read this:

Sources of Bleeding Damage:
Assassin: Assassinate ability
Invisible Blade: Bleeding Wound & Eviscerate
Poisons: Widow's Kiss

Recommend we add wounding property to the list. Bleeding is the essence of the property. This keeps wounding from being useless and addresses the age-old concern where even 1 pt. of damage reduction makes you immune to the effect. Successful wounding is already super rare anywhere near end-game.

I would even go so far as to say damage reduction shouldn't work twice anyway. It works on the initial hit, reducing the damage accordingly. If you make your save, you avoid the effect entirely. Only in the event you fail the usually low-to-reasonable save, do you incur a wound grievous enough to continue to bleed at generally 1 pt. per round. Most forms of healing stop this effect, so its already ridiculously easy to counter.

Tl;dr : To be useful again, make wounding = bleeding.

I haven't found the script for the wounding item property yet, otherwise I'd 100% turn that into bleed damage :)
