Yup! Have done the stealth section and reclaimed my gear (amour shows on the sprite, but still naked in battle, though? and inventory is completely empty except for the azure from the chest in the same room).
I've even gone to a previous save and re-done the area thinking the moondust was supposed to help you get out that battle.
If it helps to know, I'm on the Linux build. (bug on this build; the "stroke self" text with the heart doesn't display properly; the colour formatting text shows up instead.)
Gallery... makes sense. xD
