Although that character almost certainly predated the patch. Although I'm not sure why that would affect mind-reading pouches which I was nowhere close to before the patch.

The problem is that this type of fix is made in the game's 'story' as it is called and this type of fix does not apply to active stories, i.e. save games. If you ever start a new character, the issue will in fact be fixed. Not ideal, no, but there was no other way about it.
