I have not heard any further reports of this, except one that was definitively determined to be a result of outdated copies of styles, so I'm now closing this topic. I can confirm for sure that V12.6 and associated editor versions do not have this issue with any pickup skills that have been updated correctly for V12.6, but if this issue rearises after the release of V12.7, please create a new topic. (If it re-arises with V12.6, one of the two possibilities in the above post is what's happening, I'm sure of it. Only report it if you've definitely ruled both of those out - ie: you still get the issue after redownloading the newest styles update and you are using the default-style pickup skill, not a custom one.)
