Clothing from dead duplicant cannot be picked up

Clothing cannot be picked up from the tile where the duplicant died. Clicking on the garment is not possible.

It does not seem to matter whether I 'unequip clothing' as the dupe dies. The dead dupe leaves clothes that you cannot sweep or equip / assign to another dupe.

Update: After further gameplay, I think the trigger is the first instance of unequipping clothing from a dying dupe. If a dupe with assigned clothing dies before that, their clothing disappears as expected. But after the first attempt to unequip clothing from a dying dupe, all dupes who die after that will leave their clothing.
