Inconsistent equipment/char stats transfer behaviour after Korlasz' Tomb

So before leaving Korlasz' Tomb, I read various threads on this forum regarding the transfer of equipment; my conclusion was that the intended behaviour was that all unequipped items would be transferred to the chest in the Ducal Palace, while equipped items would be found on the character if and when it could be recruited later in the game.
It worked exactly like that with Safana - when I recruited her in the Elfsong Tavern, she had all items equipped which she had equipped when I left Korlasz' Tomb, while her inventory was empty, the items having been transferred to the chest in the Ducal Palace.
To my surprise and disappointment (I had invested a few hours of playtime in between), when I recruited Minsc in the Three Old Kegs, not only did he have none of the items equipped, but he was also set back stat-wise, being a level 6 ranger instead of the level 8 ranger I left in Korlasz' Tomb.
Is this a bug?
I have to add one thing, though: in my BG final save, which I imported to SoD, I had only Minsc in my party, not Dynaheir (I did not want her in my party since my main character is a mage, and I had her removed from the party via death through massive damage by an enemy so I did not lose the party slot). Could Minsc maybe have 'reset' because of that?
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you want to see your save fixed, please, zip and attach it here.
You will have to play from this point however, so hopefully you didn't do too much in the city before meeting up with Minsc.
For everyone encountering the same issues, - while they will be fixed in the next patch, they will only work with a brand new BG:EE game, so any existing saves could still be an issue when the patch 2.5 is released.
Follow-up question: in my fixed save, is the issue now fixed for other characters as well (I heard that you can later recruit Khalid, for instance)? Cheers!
I dont seem to have that issue when I import my save game - the problem seem to be there if you “just” import your character.
Just did a test, and can confirm that importing the savegame ensures that NPC’s keep their equipment if you import your savegame - not just your character.
Either way I still have a problem with the proficiency points. When I import my save game with Khalid, he has 4 proficiency points in longsword - he is planned for a fifth point and grandmastery at level 9. When I pick him up at the fort he has 3 proficiency points.
The proficiency sounds like a bug which should be reported with 2 saves (one from BG:EE, and the second from SoD).
I imported the saved game from the end of Baldur gate. Minsc and Dynaheir are in the party. At the import in the prologue, all the items, proficiencies and stats are transferred but after I meet again later at the three kegs, they revert to default stats/equipment/spells etc.
Did some more tests and can now confirm a bug. It occurs if you try to load a game any time before you pick up a npc:
If you dont load a game, the NPC will keep its proficiencies, equipment, spells and all.
Here is Dynaheir and Minsc in a no load before pick up situation:
If I load a autosave or any other savegame befrie picking up a NPC this happens:
This must be the same that I reported accured with Khalid. Loading reverts a NPC to its default status. I will try to upload a savegame - but its difficult on iPhone only.
While I am at it. If you look at this perhaps a bag of holding in the prolouge could help

Hope its done in the right manner
Hmm, can you please report it at support.baldursgate.com ? I'm not sure "redmine.org" is for our games.

I have now attached two save games
