Lord Pirate PQ after Lv. 90 Hat: Hat reset forced

Describe the problem. Be as specific as possible!:
After getting Lv. 90 hat in Lord Pirate PQ, you get a confirmation box to reset your hat progress if you choose "Leave this place" when talking to Wu Yang, and if you choose the "Reset the killcount for Lord Pirate Hat" option, Wu Yang says "Thanks for blah blah blah blah..." and nothing happens next.
The only way to avoid this is to re-login in the "Wu Yang Giving Thanks" map.

At least, it's like this the time you get the Lv. 90 hat.

Sorry for no "images of problem", but I don't think they prove much.

That has always been so, or close to it.

I don't remember the details, it must have been close to two years ago, but I could not PPQ after getting my level 90 hat because the exit map dialog would not let me out regardless of what option I selected. (Might have been able to get out if I'd dropped the hat, but was not going to try).

Oh... sounds fun. No more S rank for me then.

Add me to the list of annoyed people! I WANT TO S THE DAMN THING. BUT I KEEP HAVING TO DROP IT.
