I tried to reproduce it with Perrti again, and I couldn't get it to happen with a rowan slender trunk or an alder one.
I went back through the msglog.txt and I think it was probably user error. It looks like I was hauling the slender trunks and we don't see me stop hauling them. we do see two "start hauling" without any "stop hauling" in between, which might be interesting, but that could also happen normally if i only hauled one over and then picked it up. I don't remember how many i hauled over now, so I don't think it's worth an investigation unless it happens again.
Sorry! I don't know how I missed this.
