I have the exactly same problem and I am playing for the first time Icewind Dale 2. I have no knowledge of modding or programming, so I do not even know how to verify if it is a bug. Another possibly bug is that items placed in Salomeya's quickslots disappear (I have lost the invisibility potion for a quest and a magic item for bards because of this bug).
Nonetheless, I love this mod! Even Jaemal, the seemingly clichee "good character" has an interesting backstory, I have read good things about Diriel (which has been my favorite as a concept from the start, so it would be really disappointing if I cannot play it) and Rizdaer is paradoxically unforeseeable due to his precise depiction as a male drow. I wish I could directly thank the creator of the mod, but it seems that Domi had not been online since May 18 2016.
