Summary	0006154: Mass claim item causes caravan items to be moved to stockpile, yet remaining inaccessible
Description	At least on one occasion, I desidnated items to be reclaimed via d-b-c while a caravan was at the trade depot (within the area designated). Afterwards, querying the depot gave the "There are currently no traders here" message and all of the goods in the depot were taken to the fort's stockpiles by the dwarves. Yet somehow they were inaccessible both via the z-Stocks screen and the loo(k) command. After the caravan left, though, the former caravan items suddenly became usable.
Steps To Reproduce	Build a Trade Depot, wait for caravan to arrive. d-b-(c)laim area that includes the depot.
Additional Information	There was a goblin ambush going on at the same time that killed the outpost liaison and some of the merchants. I don't know if this had anything to do with the issue.
