Lets imagine this situation.
Wall with alcove is on coordinates X,Y. When I am facing this alcove, I am on position X, Y-1. But when am I on the position X-1 (probably also X+1), Y-2, I can see a part of alcove, but not items placed in the alcove but I am sure they should be visible.

I think this is what DM does too - it's impossible with the sprite laying routines that DM (and RTC) uses to get that sort of 3D effect.
