Power Customization Colors Resetting

Doing some more testing and sniffing around. This bug is not hitting ALL my characters consistently. Currently it seems to be the last one played each session. And MAYBE if one of the paid for costume slots is active at the time of exiting the game.
At this point I am only using the quit to desktop function when I leave game. As opposed to logging out to character select or to login screen and then quitting from there.

I was getting this before i21, i think - try changing a single costume piece before editing powers, edit the powers and save the changes, then go back in and revert the costume piece.

I remember that bug. This is not the same thing. The bug you are referring to plagued recoloring some of the incarnate abilities in particular. And the work around you described was indeed the work around for that bug.|

But here, the powers will be recolored. They will stick. I can play with them for hours. I run around. Fire off purple and green time powers. Do mission after mission. No issue.
Then I quit the game for the night, come back the next day. The powers on the costume I exited the game with are now reset to default colors. As far as I've tracked, this only seems to happen on any costume slots I have that are unlocked via the Paragon Store. The costume slots that reflect ones earned at levels 20, 30 and 40 as well as via Halloween salvage do not appear to be vulnerable to this bug.
At the end of the day, it's not the inf. that is of concern. It's the time and tedium of having to visit a tailor to reset the power colors on these groovy additional slots I purchased.
And no idea if this is related to the sporadic UI recoloring bug or the character title recoloring/miscoloring bug I'm also experiencing.
On all my purchased powersets, when I reload the game, i.e. log out over night, power customization on any character slot that was purchased is resetting to default coloring.
By purchased costume slots I mean costume slot 6 and up for level 40 characters OR costume slot 2 and up for level 1 heroes who haven't turned in any Halloween salvage. etc.
/bugged this in game but throwing it in here as a thread too. Searched but did not see this already listed in other threads about bugs with in the current live build.
