New Patch Removing Gear From Party Members

After this new patch, When I tell Astarion to wait at camp, it removes his boots (Disintegrating Night Walkers) and his camp supplies and alchemy bag. Its clogging up my inventory but I don't care about the bags that much since I can just get rid of them. Its just now I have to remember to re-equip his boots when he joins back. This didn't happen prior to this patch for me. Anyone else notice this?
