That's interesting.  I suppose it's just an oversight, since the game wasn't initially designed with the intention of losing powerups.
Things to remember when writing figures of speech and sound:
The power of poetry comes from the ability to defy logic. Defy logic often.

Use a metaphor and tell us that your lover is the sky. Tell us that your lover is the sky. When you do that, we won't believe you. We won't believe you because saying so makes no sense, but we'll see a meaning. We'll see a meaning.

The other thing is the ability to be remembered. Love anything.

Love anything

I remember this issue coming up a long time ago for another level. There was some discussion about it, but in the end this behaviour wasn't changed; it's up to the level designer to make sure this isn't a significant problem (I don't think it is in Frozen Mountain 2, but it may have been in the other level).

Indeed. Its a bug that has come up long time ago. If the umbrella power is removed during a shift while you carry it, it'll be stuck on you until you regain the powerup.

This level by Firecat exploits the bug. It's pretty neat.

As does this level by Firecat, which is also neat.
