I recently rewrote scripts across many zones to implement a cleaner and more consistent MQ handling method. While this particular NPC may not have been directly affected, I wanted to note that several NPCs were previously retaining inventory after death and respawn — this has been addressed for the next patch starting with the most offending zones first (e.g., Skyshrine, Thurgadin, Kael). That is not exhaustive, as there are many one-offs that haven't yet been completed. While I do not believe most players will kill quest givers to ensure a clean MQ, it is classic, and therefore should be an option.
As for this specific case, I don’t recall any issues with the number of bars requested during the rewrite.
I just tested it on the development branch, and it’s working as expected. So if there was a problem, it should be resolved in the upcoming patch either way.
