I have recently started a mage play through, and I got the Spiral Eye set. In light of that notorious Isabella bug, I have been paying close attention to the "Hawke" abilities portion of the abilities screen, and I have noticed a problem with set bonuses.
Equipping a set works properly - you get the stats and the icon on your abilities pane. Unequipping is fine too, the stats go, as does the ability icon. Saving and reloading does not behave properly though - when you reload the set bonus icon is back, but if you don't actually have the set on any more, you wont get stats that you aren't due.
This wouldn't be a problem except if you decide to go back to using your item set (or get curious and try to remove the erroneous set ability icon...). Applying the set when the game thinks you already have the bonus will mean that the game doesn't add the set bonus to you (after all, it thinks you already have it!) but when you remove the set again, bye bye set bonus! Since you didn't actually have it, you end up with a malus equal to the bonus you should have had.
Every save/reload will casue the erroneous item bonus to show up, and changing gear as described wil casue more maluses to build up, wrecking your stats.

It is totally avoidable I believe - when you stop using an item set, never go back to using it!
I bring it up because a) its a bug, and B) I think it may shed some light on the Isabella issue, which I am going to experiment with. It would explain why my warrior who never used Isabella, but had the buggy friendship buff never suffered attack speed loss.

Anyway:
Come on BioWare, please fix this!

This is a know bug and it also causes you to lose the set bonus every time you die and raise after the battle. However there is a work around of what I've heard of and that's to always have one set piece equipped, doesn't matter which set just have one equipped.
