Ghillie suits and backpacks

[Aracnos 3]

So I had the heavenly luck to find a ghillie suit.When i equipped it my backpack dissapeared from my back but I supposed that it is just invisible(just as the wiki says).When I opened it I had lost my big coyote pack(24 slots) and a small coyote pack had replaced it.

So is it just an unfortunate bug(lost my AK) or is this how ghillie suits work?

Both me and my friend last night found Ghillie suits and put them on no problem, no loss of backpacks or items at all. Most strange.

It's new as of 1.7.2.4 I think, never had that issue before.
