Bizarre in the extreme!

I can't think what could have caused this one.
I descended the stairs onto the level with the treasure stores where you meet the green slime monsters for the first time. I had been practicing my ninja skills and had just thrown a bunch of stuff down the stairs so there were a pile of 35-40 objects at my feet.
When I saw the green slime things coming, I starting picking things up from the floor and throwing them at the oncoming nasties. This is where it got wierd. The items I was throwing landed one square in front of me BUT ALSO CONTINUED DOWN THE CORRIDOR FOR ANOTHER TWO SPACES. For every item I threw, it split into two identical items and landed on two different squares until the corridor in front of me was littered with clones.
When I went to pick up one of the items that had landed further along the corridor, its clone vanished at the same time. When I put it down again, the clone reappeared where I had come from. Obviously the game was only treating each item as a single object, but drawing them in two places.
Even more bizarre, when I stood a couple of spaces from the bottom of the stairs after this had happened and threw objects, they bounced off the empty space in front of me as though it was a wall, made a thumping sound and I took damage!!!
I don't know if this is unique to the area or a general bug, but boy was it strange!
