Wild Surge Question

Neera just turned herself into a squirrel. The odd thing is that she was removed from the party as if she were turned to stone. Neera the squirrel only had the name 'Squirrel' and I rested for a full 24 hours and she didn't change back. Dorn killed Neera the Squirrel and I got 1 experience and she didn't drop any of her equipment. I'm pretty sure this is a glitch since Neera never could come back and her equipment is permanently gone. Can someone from development confirm whether or not this is a glitch as none of the other polymorph effects associated with Wild Surges do this?

I mean, I assume you are correct and it is a glitch, every time Neera surged a spell to polymorph herself I got lucky and she saved when I used her.
Edit: Sorry, misread the glitch is about her and her equipment becoming un-recoverable. I shouldn't post so tired lol...
Edit:
Why is 99 better than 100?
Actually yeah that would be over 100 over half the time, point taken.
Hence Aldoy's belt +5 saves vs polymorph.
If polymoprhing into a squirrel is one of the things that's supposed to happen, it would make more sense that she drop her items at that time. For example, the gem bag would be carrying her, not the other way around.
16: Caster changed into a squirrel.
It doesn't say it's temporary, it doesn't say equipment is unaffected.
Even if it isn't a bug then it kind of sucks as a wild surge because mostly you can get out of the wild surges in one way or another, sometimes by ressing.
There are a fair few other wild surge rolls that can wipe the team or kill unrezable CHARNAME.
Not to mention making your stuff disapear.
IMO, avoiding such a fate is the whole point of Aldoy's belt.
Neera changed color, and changed sex, and it's been over a week and both seem to be permanent.
Was hoping maybe they'd change back.
I quicksave constantly: probably best to redo that particular battle where she polymorphed herself (if you haven't already).
As per PnP rules Polymorph Other should be permanent, but reversable with Dispel Magic, Remove Curse, or another Polymorph Other back to original form.
