Kenrith’s Transformation Bug (Kudo)
My opponent cast Kenrith’s Transformation on my Kudo, and the ability text on Kudo became grayed out as it normally would for losing its abilities due to Kenrith’s Transformation, however Kudo’s ability stayed active and all creatures were still 2/2 bears. Kenrith’s Transformation did not actually disable the ability of the equipped creature beyond the display text change.

Not a bug. Due to Kudo changing types, that ability starts applying in layer 4. And continues to apply even though it loses the ability generating the effect in layer 6. Because rule 613.6 says that it will apply fully since it already started to apply.
613.6. If an effect should be applied in different layers and/or sublayers, the parts of the effect each
apply in their appropriate ones. If an effect starts to apply in one layer and/or sublayer, it will
continue to be applied to the same set of objects in each other applicable layer and/or sublayer, even
if the ability generating the effect is removed during this process.In essence, effects that change type cannot be shut down by ability losing effects. This goes for Ygra, Kaito, Ashaya, Toph, and many other cards as well.
