Thugs: losing their upgrade appearance?

[Force Redux]

I've noticed for a while that when Thugs travel through a zone or door, they revert back to their stock outfits. They keep their upgrade buffs it seems, but if I want them back in style I have to rebuff. 

 

Is this a known bug? Anyone else experience this? It's minor, but annoying. Thanks!

Yes, it’s a known bug since the launch of Homecoming unfortunately.

Thanks for confirming! I'll just keep that upgrade button handy!

I remember this bug happening years ago on live whenever pets following you into missions was introduced.  It has something to do with the way the Thugs' Upgrade Equipment costume changes are delayed after the power is cast on a henchmen and it being cast at the same time as Equip Thugs when zoning.
