It was always working the same way as far as i know. If you start the game using efb2ram, the clothes are loaded, and if you switch to efb2tex afterwards, the clothes stay. If you are using efb2tex while the clothes are loaded, they are broken and will stay that way.
You can fix this after loading by enabling efb2ram, and changing the color of the clothes. And then you can switch to efb2tex.
