I'm actually not too bothered by the apparent FTL blast wave. I just assumed it was using some kind of exotic physics -- maybe some kind of carrier wave "surfing" in a propagating mass effect field? -- to do whatever it's doing. If it violates lore ... well, the Codex isn't always right, and there are hints here and there in the lore that the organic races' current understanding of physics has room for improvement, and there are probably important secrets they haven't yet discovered. Note the event at Rothla, which was still not understood as of ME3. Note also the mysterious premature aging of the star Dholen. Note also the Susskind Supercollider, at Trikalon, which the Reapers treated as a priority target, of more importance than the nearby asari fleet -- which suggests it was capable of discovering important new physics that was a threat to them. It's clear enough that the organic races' understanding of physics is incomplete.
