Because I wasn't paying attention to the contents, only the requirements. I'm cool with it, I'm now saved the agony of spending the Vanguard merits on the rest of my toons.

Not sure I understand your confusion here. ALL your characters from now to death of the game have all the Vanguard costume pieces, so you never ever have to buy one again. Different characters that you have don't have different ones unlocked. Characters you haven't even made have them all unlocked.
(Note that I'm not saying the devs should not take the costume items out of the purchasable list. It would be much less cluttered to have them removed. But there should no longer even be a reason to go into that sub-tab in the first place.)

You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. All you have to remember is that you have all the Vanguard costume pieces on your account. So from now on you only have to buy the temp powers for your characters. It's that simple.
As for Vanguard costume recipes appearing on the crafting table, that doesn't matter because the game won't let you craft a costume recipe that has already been unlocked. I know because I've forgotten what I had unlocked on other characters and when I've tried to craft a Vanguard costume piece I already unlocked the game wouldn't let me.

Not everything is removed from the vanguard list of purchasable items, it would be nice if it continued to work as it has on live, once you have an item, it no longer shows up as purchasable, also, it's not just the costume pieces, I also noticed the issue for the costume change emote as well.

Also, what you claim doesn't actually work that way, I just checked at the time of this post to be certain of my memory, and items that I purchased on my main character, as far as costume pieces, and costume change emotes, and the backpack, etc, do not show up at all, I cannot even try to purchase them as the option no longer exists.
And that is all I am asking for, that it continues to work that way for items unlocked via the Vanguard pack.
Edit:
I just confirmed that it does indeed eat your vanguard merits when you attempt to purchase an item that shows up in the vanguard crafting table that is part of the vanguard pack. It took 50 merits, and removed the chest detail from the list after the purchase, even though it is part of the vanguard pack. So yes, I can see folks accidentally clicking on items that they already have by accident because of this.

I must have encounterd a bug when I was still showing the items on the crafting table in RWZ.If the items that you already unlocked don't appear on the list anymore because you can't get them more than once on a character then you don't have to worry about remembering that they were unlocked.
And it's obvious why the devs programmed it so the Vanguard costume recipes would disappear after being unlocked because Vanguard recipes can't be traded. So the Vanguard list only shows you what you can still buy and craft. It makes the list less confusing.
If the items are still showing after the Vanguard pack was rewarded then that's a bug that needs to be reported.

The vanguard pack isn't removing the items from the list of purchasable goods.
