Doesn't look like it's a bug that's easy to try and circumvent as a player either. Decided to go through the hassle of doing a fresh install in hopes that it would solve the issue, but it didn't help at all. Makes me wonder just how many people are affected by this bug, but just haven't realized that they're hit by it and as a result it's gone under-reported. I know the devs are aware of it and working on fixing it, but if it affects far more people than just those that have reported it, it should be a high priority issue to solve. For now I'm shelfing the game entirely, because I can't get myself to actually play the game when such a large and important feature in the game has been left basically entirely unfunctional.
