I experienced the same bug by accident. I saved a story using storysaver.net, and then saved again using the IG Downloader extension. The one from storysaver.net was double the size. First I thought they were upscaling it, but if you zoom both photos you can see the blurry pixels on the photo from IG Downloader, its indeed a lower resolution.

Yup, sadly, almost a month later, we still have to resort to tools such as StorySaver to manually save a post/story in high res.
