Summary0003471: Military dwarves claim new rations instead of retrieving previously dropped ones
DescriptionIf a military dwarf drops his backpack for any reason (for example, if moved from one squad to another), any rations will be dropped on the floor. When the dwarf next decides to get provisions, new food will be collected from the food stockpiles while leaving the old food lying on the floor to rot (or just sit there indefinitely, for some reason).

This is a fairly longstanding bug - it frequently happened in 0.28.181.40d (and earlier) when sparring wrestlers would tear off their opponents' backpacks; if the dwarves were subsequently deactivated, they would occasionally store their food in their quarters (sometimes in a coffer, where it would remain indefinitely).

This behavior, combined with the inability of insane dwarves to pick up items, is probably what's responsible for 0001608.

Another occurrence: military dwarf became mayor, dropped his backpack, and then claimed a whole lot of food.

This included all brewable food items in the fort which now are unstacked after reclaiming things with dfhack cleanowned.
