Actually you're right, that one was reversed and it was a bit of a scandal. Thread with post by Abashi referencing it, and a player explaining it in more detail:

However with the Lustrous Russet
armor, if I remember the story; what happened is Verant changed it to warrior
only with no warning whatsoever, people removed their armor only to find they
couldn't put it back on; and since this was in the days when no drop meant no
bank they were in real trouble. If instead Verant had announced that a mistake
was made and either changed all of the Lustrous Russet on non warriors to the
appropriate planes armor for that class; or had GM's collect and exchange the
Lustrous Russet for the appropriate planes armor, there would have probably
still been complaints, but far less then there were (imvho) and at least Verant
would have been shown trying to make a effort to be fair.
