It's weird because I've saved and released Poland and had it go both ways. Take my cores or another only take it's pre-war cores that weren't mine. Not sure if I was playing a mod or not.
I think the fundamental problem isn't in releasing puppets. That's an obvious and easy fix with you just selecting what provinces you won't give. The main problem is how occupation is handled in general. Really need something in between occupied territory and puppet. Maybe like military governments in occupied zones that suppress partisans and increase resource extraction.
