Just did a bunch of stuff to make sure. Loading a saved game with it on doesn't cause it, nor does engaging in conversation, entering a new area, using the workbench (saved & loaded afterwards), going on/off the Ebon Hawk, or going to a different planet. I loaded a save once right after saving. Then I quit to desktop, went back into the game, and loaded the save a second time. Still no effect. From what I can tell it isn't related to anything other than the amount of time you wear it. How much time before it occurs is unknown.
