V - Skyrim on Xbox 360
Erroneous "You can't take your teammate's starting armor" message.
On two occasions I have experienced the subject bug, wherein an armor item recently added to my follower's (Lydia's) inventory cannot be subsequently retrieved. In each of the two occurrences I added items to Lydia's inventory (via trade or via command to take item), fast-travelled to Whiterun, and then entered Breezehome. I then attempted to retrieve the items via trade, only to receive the "You can't take your teammate's starting armor" message as a response.
The first time, I could not retrieve any Forsworn armor but (as I recall) could retrieve other armor items.
The 2nd time, I could not retrieve any armor item.
I presume that this is a bug and not a game feature intended to encourage dismissal of a teammate.
Please advise.
