maybe.....it tried and spawned it too close to "Drifter cavern" resulting in some kind of error with the graphics....(hence you're able to use it to go down.....because it has a location, but it has no ability to actually spawn there) - kinda like casting bone prisons to a certain extent (when they reach a point you'll hear the spell go off, but none will appear because there is no room within their spawn area to appear).
IE - Drifter Cavern location = Waypoint location - drifter cavern has last spawn occurance, thus appearing in priority over waypoint. (waypoint taken, level generates - waypoint, area, stairs - not 100% sure on the order, but it could explain it if it is that way....)
Oh.....and thought I'd add since there's a discussion about level oddities......if you remember the old River of Flame bug (lava walking) - you might be interested that it still occurs occassionally in maggot lair occassionally (although they fixed it in river and arcane from what I can tell anymore......- saw the maggot one a month or two ago while rushing a friend lol.....i love those bugs....gives you a real sense of interacting with the well.....environment :D)
