New mech purchase for unassigned pilot incurred +1skills penalty

Once upon a time, I was able to purchase a Hunchback. Nice mech, at that. However, because all of my newb "skilled" pilots were in vehicles, I had inadvertantly purchased a Hunchback for a "new" (8/8) pilot. I accepted my mistake, and trained him down to 5/5.
Well, I ended up losing that mech in combat, but the pilot retained the Mech tag "Name(Hunchback)"...
A (real) year later, I managed to purchase and seat that same pilot, then unassigned, into a new mech, only to see his stats suffer the 1-point penalty for switching vehicles, to 6/6.
While this doesn't really impact me (considering that pilot wouldn't be capable of doing much harm without significant training anyway), I would like to know how to prevent it from happening in the future. (I think I did open a ticket, but for me, it's low priority). Thanks!
