Also accidentally falling down a pit and seeing lots of dragon steaks around, wondering what happened...
How about
(i) discovering the zo spell before you found the scroll, and thinking it was a fireball.
(ii) Using the CSB picture editor to, em, "re-design" Syra's outfit.

(iii) Finding the scroll saying "new life for old bones" and thinking it was spell but not sure how to work it.
(iv) After a brain wave putting the bones on the altar and being shocked to see the lightning and your character back (well, everyone has done this!).
(v) Bringing the bones you found on one of the later levels back to an altar of vi, and being disappointed that no-one appeared.

(vi) When you defeated Chaos for the first time being confused by the fireballs that hit him, thinking that some other creature was near by and firing at you (until he changed form).
(vii) Thinking Screamers were funny trees, not realising for some time they were actually eating you.
These are just some of my experiences, some of them must be universal...if you share some of them or have any other experiences I would love to hear them (e.g. did you use the rats room as a training ground instead of the screamers?)
