Issue #26730: Re-entering Soul Cairn

 
The first time you enter Soul Cairn, when asked about returning, Serana's mother tells you "By entering here, you have become a part of Soul Cairn, and Soul Cairn has become a part of you. You will not have an issue re-entering the portal." Ergo, you shouldn't need to become a vampire or soul trap yourself again to re-enter. However, after defeating Harkon, I was prevented from re-entering the Soul Cairn when trying to report back to Serena's mother and had to have Serana re-infect me with vampirism first.

My specific sequence was: Become vampire to enter Soul Cairn -> Enter -> Leave -> Cured Vampirism for Dawnguard -> Defeated Harkon -> Unable to re-enter.

I did not check if the Soul Trap-route has a similar issue on re-entering, but Googling my problem suggests it's prominent for other players.
