Despite saying they fixed it, my character just lost all his stats on his first death after playing 6 hours in vanilla.
Back to waiting for them to say they fixed the issue a third time .....
The issue that was fixed in this update had to do with the entire character getting discarded (wiping all talents, skills and items) in a situation where you hadn't even died.
Losing skills when you die intentional is not a bug though. It's intentional that when you die, you lose your accumulated skill levels (although this can be remedied to some extent with certain talents).
