I did a check on a recent server, and the same bug occured.  Exact
steps taken to duplicate:

Go to Siegfried's house in Ancient Pupland.  Go to the second tree
right of the entrance, apply it.  Go to the east edge.  Then all the
way up to the north edge.  Then step west until you see the around the
blocked tiles.  I discovered this with the DXClient.
