Yesterday while playing the beta I found an interesting problem. What happened was I tried to give some equipment to a henchman. The equipment disappeared, and was no longer in the inventory of either the henchman, or the giver. My first thought was that there was a problem with giving equipment to a henchman, but after reading the change log, I think that the problem may be with the trade and equip button. My guess is at this point, that if you click trade and equip on an item that the receiver cannot use, the item just disappears. This is rather unexpected, and I would think that the behavior should either be, popping up an error message that the receiver can't use the item, or trading it without equiping it.
The reason that reading the change log clarified what had happened was that the items I tried to give the henchman were bows and a cloak, and the change log specifically says that due to a bug, those were not usable by hanchmen.
