Empty Unknown Master Writ Containers

I had two of these yesterday: unknown enchanting and woodworking master writ containers neither of which generated a Master Writ on opening. I've had this happen once before with a Jewellery one as well. Any idea what's going on - should I report it?

I know there's an issue with daily writs basically being ignored if you've just handed in the same one from a few days ago. Maybe the same bug is at work here? I had completed both enchanting and woodworking master writs and turned them in earlier the same day. But that should have no effect on opening a new unknown master writ, since the writ items are highly unlikely to match the ones you just turned in.

XB-NA if it matters.

    OK Just happened again. I had an unknown jewellery writ which I opened. There was a double "pop" audio fx, and then nothing. I had no other writs of any kind in my inventory, and no active crafting quests. Sent an in-game report 251118-002774.

    I would really love to know if anyone else is experiencing this.

    Are you "auto looting" the master writ maybe? Meaning are you accepting the writ automatically due to some add on or something? You said there was a "double pop", so maybe first sound is opening the writ, second is using the writ. Check your quest log and see if you have those master writs in your quest journal or not.

    Nope, no auto looting/completion add-ons. It's like it opened it and used it, but it went "poof" instead. I do have some opened but not accepted in a storage chest, but I've had other master writs that worked just fine. And I double- and triple-checked by quest list, but there's no master writ there at all.
