It is not the polymorphing code. In fact, every savebed has the "damned"
and "no_magic" flag set.
You surely have noticed that players get beamed on their last-applied
savebed after dying these days. Now imagine you are a wizard and cast
fireballs in a dungeon. Suddenly you die, but still your finger is on the
fire key. *Wooof* - Your whole apartment goes up in smoke.
Even worse: Sometimes players died in autofire mode and managed to
get themselves killed with their own spells about ten times in their
apartment afterwards.

This is the reason why savebeds have been set both damned (no prayers)
and no_magic (no spells).
