PC - Item disappears upon escaping

Step 1: Boot the game
Step 2: Play as survivor in a public match and bring (presumably) any item. In the most recent case, it was a purple med-kit
Step 3: In-game, escape through the exit gates or the hatch with the item held
Step 4: Notice the item has disappeared even though you escaped
CHARACTER(S) PLAYED/ISSUE FREQUENCY
This has occurred on multiple occasions: with Dwight Fairfield, Cheryl Mason, and most recently with Yui Kimura. Whether it is possible with other survivors, I cannot say, as I have only recently been playing the above 3. I cannot remember the exact build, map, item, etc I used on the FORMER two, but on Yui...
PERKS USED

MAP
Mother's Dwelling, Red Forest (the Yui trial)
It may help to add that the med-kit was fully depleted. I also swapped it TEMPORARILY with a brown med-kit I found in a chest, just to heal myself before retrieving my depleted purple med-kit, and then escaping through the exit gates.
