Three times and still the same problem. Fortunately, I think I have figured it out.

It used to be that episode medals and bridges would disappear (or be converted) at the end of the episode. Whether intentionally or not, the bridges and medals now stick around until the next event. The conversion and disappearance does not occur until new episode medals are acquired. However, the starting reward is granted before this. Therefore, the episode specific rewards are deleted along with the old medals.

For example, I had 17 ruby medals and 127 episode silver warrior medals left from Golden Age. Now the new event comes along and the starting reward includes 20 ruby medals and 50 episode silver warrior medals. Those rewards are added to my current count making it 37 ruby medals and 177 episode silver warrior medals. Now I face my first boss and get 2 ruby medals and 1 episode silver warrior medal. However, before these are added to my count, the program recognizes that this is my first batch of loot for the new event and clears the old counts. In other words, the 37 ruby medals disappear and the 177 episode silver warrior medals get converted to regular silver warrior medals. The counts are then updated so now I have 2 ruby medals and 1 episode silver warrior medal. Hence, the starting rewards have been prematurely taken away/converted.
