[GAMEPLAY] Visual Bug - Jungle buffs don't disappear

I was playing Caitlyn in Ranked today, and ended up having a weird visual bug that ended up affecting my performance throughout the game. I had managed to take both the blue and red buffs by killing the enemy jungler, and when I died to the enemy bottom lane (with both buffs still on me), the enemy bottom laner took the buffs. Now this is all fine and dandy, and part of the game, except the visuals of the buffs stayed on my champion for the rest of the game.

In the attached image you can clearly see that there are no buff icons on the GUI, meaning I did not mechanically have the buffs applied, which can be confirmed by the 0% Cooldown Reduction on the GUI. And while I don't have visual proof of it, basic attacking did not apply the DoT from the red buff.

Later in the game I did manage to pick up the red buff again by killing the jungle camp, and once again I died before the duration ended. When I respawned, I still had the visuals of both buffs around my champion. I didn't get the chance to pick up the buffs and let them naturally time out, as by that point in the game we were having decisive teamfights.

Now, this bug does affect me as a player, since although in the back of my mind I know I don't have the buffs applied to my champion, having the visuals there throws me off by making me believe in the heat of the moment that I do have the buffs, when in reality I don't.

Am I the only person to have experienced this?
