Bug Effects that limit base stats confuse Mafia outfit switching

If I have an effect that limits my base stats - e.g. Drenched in Lava, which limits base Muscle/Myst/Moxie to 30 - and I try to equip an outfit with higher stat requirements, mafia doesn't realize that the outfit switch failed. But I get proper error messages if I repeat the command. Example:

Code: 
> outfit mirror

Putting on outfit: mirror
Equipment changed.

> outfit mirror

Putting on outfit: mirror

I saw something similiar, but not exactly the same. First time I ran it it only complained about one item, the second time about all of them. What were you wearing / what effects did you have, on the first wearing?

Code: 
[8550] The Bubblin' Caldera
Encounter: Aaaaah! Aaaaaaaah!
You acquire an effect: Drenched in Lava (20)

For my example, the key effect was Drenched in Lava (from the caldera) and the original outfit was:
Code: 
bounty-hunting helmet
bottle-rocket crossbow
Jarlsberg's pan (Cosmic portal mode)
sea salt scrubs
Camp Scout backpack
Pantsgiving
Mr. Cheeng's spectacles
stinky cheese eye
sardine can key

and the target outfit was:
Code: 
plexiglass pith helmet
depleted Grimacite kneecapping stick
beige clambroth marble
cane-mail shirt
rubber cape
Pantsgiving
tiny die-cast golden ring
V for Vivala mask
navel ring of navel gazing

But I've seen it with other situations, including wearing the Personal Ventilation Unit in the Conspiracy Island lab (limits your base stats).

As a note, while KoL won't let you equip the outfit (because your "base" stats are lowered by those effects), it will let you equip individual pieces (based on your actual base stats being high enough). So an extra feature (that I'm not motivated to look into right now at least) would be for KoLmafia to recognize that KoL will fail and equip items individually to work around the issue.
