#7218 [CORE] - Bug : Glaicen does not give Flail [Acid]

Hiya! Kind of irritating bug, or I-assume-bug. Here's the things.
I cleared De'arnise keep, killing the troll boss and doing everything else, finishing with my visit to Glaicen for the third flail head. I used the RoHI on him to charm, and its success casts a dispel magic and opens a dialogue. He comments on his thankfulness that the troll boss is dead, and mentions that he must find Captain Arat. He then leaves, and you get your experience bonus.
Logically you'd find him with Captain Arat, but he is not there, and I cannot find him anywhere in the keep. If he is gone forever like I suspect he might be, then the third head of the flail is gone with him.
As a workaround, I was able to pickpocket the flail head off him before he disappears, but I figured I'd mention the bug anyhow.
Cheers!
[EDIT]
For clarity, the process:
1) Kill TorGal of De'arnise keep
2) Charm or otherwise dispel magic on Glaicen after killing TorGal
Result : Glaicen will reward you with exp, mention that he must find Captain Arat / other survivors, and leave the area without providing you the flail head [acid] that he is carrying.
Expected result : Glaicen would provide some indication / means of acquiring the flail head [acid] either during the scene, or afterwards near Captain Arat, where he claims to be heading.
Note : It is possible to pickpocket Glaicen of the flail head before he leaves, provided you know he has it in the first place already.

@Fleetfeet, if you still have a save from before you charmed Glaicus, you might want to upload it so the bug squashers can try to replicate the problem you encountered.
We'll need to get a saved game from before you got the issue and a set of reproduction steps from the point of the saved game to the point where the issue happens.
Please zip or rar up the saved game and use the "Attach a File" link here to upload it. Make SURE to include some steps on how to go from where the saved game is to the point where the issue occurs.
As a note: I happen to have been one of the ones to test this quest and did manage to get all 3 heads and make the flail before I walked out of the keep, so I know it was possible...at least a couple beta builds ago.
the weapon head if he dies.
He should also give the head if you can successfully charm or dispel him, but that didn't work for me. In my game he simply gave the extra XP and went out of the room
besides: hold, then dispel works better then charm
Can anyone else confirm?
This is probably wrong.
I'd earmarked a save file, but overwrote it. The second screenshot is exactly what happens, and the flail head then disappears with him. The bugged part of it is that he is then nowhere to be found, and there is no indication that he has the third flail head despite its existence being referenced elsewhere.
I suppose it's working as intended, but it does seem peculiar that the third flail head disappears with him, and he doesn't actually go where he says he is going. Not to mention this particular sequence of completing the dungeon (Kill TorGal -> Rescue Glaicus) results in a lost flail head, whereas (Rescue Glaicus -> Kill TorGal) has the charmed Glaicus giving you the acid flail head.
Honestly, I'd expected him to be lurking around the encampment outside, and either offer it up outright if you talked to him there, or try sell it to you or whatever is fitting to his character. The bug I was assuming existed was that he was supposed to end up somewhere, but didn't make it.
