I don't think it was a mistake. I think the programmers were told to make cloud restore not work for the gauntlet, so when you restore, it checks to see if the only change is a gauntlet failure, and if so, they don't actually restore the gauntlet state. If you do almost anything else after the failure, it will restore just fine. Interestingly, if you fail, end the run, start another run, quite before the green lights, and then restore, it restores just fine. It's way too targetted to be a bug. It has to be intentional. The nice thing about this forum is that people figured this out early in the gauntlet and posted it in the comments. It's just now way far down. It may be elsewhere as well, I haven't looked to see if anyone edited it into this page (or the tips page).
