Yes when I tried Aunty Ethel deal, I was very surprised of this !
From one way that's interesting to see negative permanent changes, I never saw that in other video games I think. It's really a feel of tabletop RPG.
From another, my first reaction was to load my previous backup, as most of us, I like optimized characters, and I cannot call a dungeon master and come back with a new character in the game.
Did you report the bug for the videos ? I'm not sure they will correct all the faces in the game due to that, but that should worth mentionning to Larian teams.
