Dethdlr EQ2X is no longer in beta. From the ashes of the EQ2 Live servers comes the newly launched F2P server. At least that’s what seems to be implied by the free “Staff of the Rising Phoenix” available for a limited time on the EQ2X server. From Everquest2.com:
It’s official! SOE has removed BETA from the logo and is proud to announce the official launch of EverQuest II Extended.
To celebrate the launch, EQ2X players can claim their free Staff of the Rising Phoenix from the in-game Marketplace on the Freeport server. The staff is an appearance-only item, depicting a phoenix engulfed in glowing flames, and will be available for a limited time only, so be sure to claim yours before 11:59 pm PDT on Sunday, October 3rd.

I hope they fixed the cause of the station access entitlement stripping bug. Deth knows what i’m talking about.
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I never got a response from anyone saying they fixed the but or even saying the found the bug. And there are reports as recently as 9/21/2010 of this happening on an account that never went anywhere near EQ2X. Seems to only happen to those with station access accounts as you mentioned but other than that, seems fairly rare and random. Roll your dice and if they come up snake eyes, you PM Zoltaroth and wait for him or another red name to fix it for you. 🙁
Oh well, i was hoping they would have changed their f2p strategy before the BETA tag came off.
