I don't think I've ever seen this bug mentioned anywhere before, and I just read this entire thread and didn't see it, so I thought I'd add it. It is rather difficult to stumble across by accident. I've experienced it only two or three times over the years.
In a multiplayer game, if a player is dead and another player on the same level activates a Spooky Shrine (or a Goat Shrine/Cauldron that invokes the same effect), the shrine incorrectly heals the dead player, and a situation identical to the one described in DEATH WITH CURSED ITEMS occurs where the dead player has health but remains dead, thus cannot be resurrected by their companions and must restart in town.
