        I have had a similiar problem, It rarely happens, but on occasion,
I will set a mob to load in a room, and instead it will load somewhere
totally off, or I'll make a MOB and its stats will get merged into another
mob from a different zone, it does funky stuff like that, but its rare. My
suggestion, make backups of all universe files and just deal with it :)
