Before fixing this, please do consider that billy's ult is buggy in many ways in HIS favor, people who play him can report them in more detail than I can and hopefully will do so soon enough, because the bugs have already been found. So fixing this before fixing bugs with his ult that work FOR him, will leave mina with very few counters to this ability (practically just ethereal shift and counterspell, which is currently only a counter to the pull because of the bugs). It should not be the case and billy will likely get his share of nerfs soon, but it would be best to funnel those nerfs into making him more limited in his identity, i.e. more counterable instead of just cutting his numbers, increasing cooldowns. Counterplay is fun — an uncounterable character that does one thing no matter what and nothing else is not fun to play as or against, please dont repeat mistakes you've already done with many characters (e.g. pocket is an ult bot, warden ult build is a lot better than the gun build unless the draft really needs a gun carry, vindicta is stake bot, vyper now doesn't get anything from headshots and her gun build is the only viable option still). New character kits are good, so i'm really praying for an understanding here.
So, the bug. If Mina is in ult, or casts it at the same time as billy does his (since his ult chain takes a bit of time to reach people in radius), then she gets this repeatedly cleansing effect for the chain, so if she gets out of his ult reapplication radius, the chain will be cut off in a way shorter radius than if it kept being attached. It also means that she doesnt get affect by the slowing hex-like effect Billy's ult applies:

If she casts AFTER being chained, it doesnt seem to be the case, which is the expected behavior:
