Hey, I raised this to the team cause I thought it would be related to an engine update.

This is a known issue that we can't really fix. Fun fact, this actually happens with every update. It should resolve itself. The reason? Apparently it's literally "spaghetti code". Like, a modern mystery in the game that nobody can be bothered to find out but probably could if we really tried/cared enough.

Fun fact 2 - Something weird also happens with the imps in Puro Puro after every game update. They're actually supposed to take away your implings from you and free them from your inventory. They do that after a game reboot after 5 minutes but then they just like give up. So imp repellant is like a dead item now because it doesn't have any use since the imps stop working as intended.
