Turns out this was two completely separate issues. One for core/plugin stylesheets in development, and one for child theme stylesheets. Both should now be fixed.

1. No live reload when editing core/plugin scss, **if** you were using a non-default theme in development

1. Parent themes were not refreshed when editing child themes
