Steps:
1. Obtain the vivid periapt of readiness from Cottus or Sarimanok.
--In subsequent battles with voidwatch NMs, you will have lucid potion II, lucid ether II, vicar's drink, dusty scroll of reraise, and dusty wing, as temporary items.
2. Battle Lorbulcrud without expending a voidstone (thus forfeiting any spoils other than experience points and cruor).
3. Strike Lorbulcrud's weaknesses and increase white light alignment.
4. Those who expended a voidstone need to obtain the dusky periapt of readiness. If this does not occur, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. The next time you fight a voidwatch NM, your temporary items will change to hi-potion, carnal incense, and shepherd's drink.
6. After the voidwatch NM in step 5, subsequent battles will have the original assortment of temporary items.
This occurred to all of the members of my ls who did not expend a voidstone in the fight and already possessed the vivid periapt of readiness. The next day, we fought Lorbulcrud again to evolve other peoples' stratum abyssites, struck its weaknesses again, and the glitch reemerged the next fight against Cottus.
Update May 15
There were also some weird behavior where our temporary items would change between the full set of vivid + dusky periapts of readiness and a set that I assume is if you only have the dusky periapt of readiness.
