Forum:Post-patch Character Duplication?

I've searched the Wiki and forum for info on this, but haven't found anything. If i've missed some relevant pages, please excuse me (and redirect me).

I'm playing on a PS3 with the latest system software, having downloaded the latest patch (1.4.1). I've been farming Craw with a Lvl 69 Roland and Lvl 69 Lilith. (Side note: Anyone else notice that when you kill Craw multiple times without cleaning up, the guns dropped all align themselves pointing the same direction? Mine all pointed west; looked kinda weird.)

Pre-patch, when I tried to play split-screen with two of the same character, I got a message that a different character had to be chosen; don't remember the exact wording.

Today, I started to set up split-screen without paying attention, and ended up with two Rolands: same character traits, levels, skill tree, inventory, etc. I did notice that both times, a Lvl 69 Soldier was already selected on the first screen.

I swapped a couple grenade mods to see if weapon duplication was possible. (I didn't want to risk losing a good gun if it wasn't). I restarted, and was able to set up with two Rolands again, and the one that had been on controller 1 had retained the items; controller 2 was a dupe of him.

So, is this a temporary glitch, or did I miss this before the patch (a distinct possibility; I never tried it after the first time quite a while ago), or did the patch introduce this?

I haven't shut down the system yet to see if it happens after rebooting; I think I'll load up on Pearls first.
