Haven't seen it mentioned other than my post here but has anyone else found that backer items (pets, cloak, and ring) no longer show up in the inventory when starting a new game?

When creating a new character, my backer items no longer appear in the inventory (cloak, dragon pet, ring, and space pig pet). Loading a save game with an existing character shows the items in the inventory. I checked my Steam account and the backer items show up under DLC. I've also tried verifying game files. This is the first time I've created a new character under patch 1.05. I did purchase the digital strategy guide this morning via the Obsidian website but I don't see how that could impact my Steam game. Issue is the same on both OS X and Linux.
