This has happened twice during the masquerade, which is the only way I've noticed it because I was unable to dance "without a mask".

I have gone into the wardrobe to change my outfit, and I'll remove my clothes. I do not hit save. While I'm creating an outfit (since it takes me awhile), I'll try to dance but get an error that I'm not wearing a mask. But I haven't manually saved at any point.

Is this a new feature (autosaving?) or is there some kind of bug?

- There's no auto-saving in the new wardrobe. I just tested it by stripping down in the wardrobe, and I'm still able to dance without any problems.

Either it's a bug, or you accidentally saved your HA without realizing it.

there was a time four and five years ago that the wardrobe cache for some reason would forget masks and nothing else four hours after any save, even if that save was just a change of one item, not-a-mask. I got into the habit of putting on a black domino and saving and then stripping down and changing and putting the new mask over it and saving. At the cost of one face-layer item and occasionally streaking nudeHA across the dance floor, I got continuous maskage. After the four hours were up I'd take the black domino off and add another face item if I wanted.

It's always something! I'll probably start doing something like that next time. Just leave a mask on as I change outfits.
