Comment(by ScottWallace):

 This is the expected behavior for tiles of objects that are not currently
 present in the current "world".  It helps considerably in mitigating
 situations where scripts appear to be bafflingly broken, i.e. not seeming
 to affect the objects they belong to, because the object they belong to is
 in a different world, or is a deleted sibling of one that you do see, etc,
 etc.

 However, the case of an object in a closed flap whose tab *is* in the
 current world could arguably be considered, for situations like this (and
 *maybe* for ticking scripts, though that goes against morphic event-
 handling dogma...) as "very nearly in the world".

 Anyway -- at a minimum, an explanation for this phenomenon should be
 readily findable by any puzzled user -- on our putative Forum, on a FAQ,
 or whatever.
