Yep.  The effect is less than satisfactory.  Happened to me too once.
I've decided that unless you're just looking to get from one place to
another very fast, using mapping scrolls in Hell is not such a hot idea.
This is particularly true if you're looking for that elusive wand of
wishing -- once you read the scroll of mapping, how do you tell where
you've looked and where you haven't?  

Of course, this is related to your style of play, I guess.  I like 
to get as far down as I can and fight my way back out, exploring
each maze level thoroughly.
