No.  This is a DIFFERENT BUG.  Nothing to do with saving the game.  Only
monsters in the treasure rooms in those levels have this property. I don't
know whether the recently posted fixes cure this or not--it takes a while
to get a character strong enough to find out.

Also another bug to report:  when you are a student at the College, if
you apply for promotion and are rejected your intelligence goes up!

Also, when you are a gladiator, after you fight the champion, the next
creature to fight is yourself.  However, when you start fighting you
instead find yourself fighting a ROUS.  Something doesn't seem right, there.
