Risian Vulcanology Kit Appearance Bug

Okay, so I've observed a bug with the Risian Vulcanology Kit from the summer event. It appears to be tied to the size of a character's head. If your character's head is tall and you equip the Risian Vulcanology Kit, your character's appearance will revert to a previous one in which their head was not tall. I tried a few different appearances with a tall head and some without. The result remained the same. This is illustrated in the following screenshot:
On the left, my character is as short as possible, but has the tallest head possible.
On the right, it is the same character, but after I equipped the Risian Vulcanology Kit. It reverted my character's appearance to a previous one, which also has a substantial difference in overall height. When I unequip the Risian Vulcanology Kit, my character's appearance goes back to its current appearance.

Map: Q's Winter Wonderland
The Issue: As instructed via email, I am once again posting about this bug. My equipment is mostly the same, with a few ground devices allocated to Winter event devices instead. This bug seems to extend to some of the Winter Event weapons, specifically The Snowblower and Caramel Assault (both miniguns with a back item visual, which I suspect is directly relevant.) This time I have taken the liberty of providing a video to show the bug in action. In the video, I am equipping Caramel Assault. Please note that the weapon is invisible. This is also the case with The Snowblower. As you can see, it reverts my character's appearance to that of a klingon wearing some of the Terran Emperor clothing. It's worth noting that the appearance these items are reverting me to, are no longer in my list of saved outfits. Clearly, the outfit is saved somewhere players cannot access. I suspect it has something to do with a character's head. Something about the item's visuals conflicting with that of a character's head shape, extending even to head coverings such as that of the Khan head covering I have equipped in the video.
I tried changing maps, instances, logging out and logging back in, as well as closing the game completely and starting it up again. Logging out and logging back in worked once, but it no longer does.
