        It is a player induced bug, which I don't have a lot of sympathy for.

Well, I thought it would let me be a dwarf with a dwarf icon, but
without any special starting skills.  I was surprised not to have at
least punching and the wand-use skill (or some way to acquire it).

And on a related note:

With the old system, using lockpicking would get you 20xp/door or so.  I
don't seem to get any experience now.  Is that intentional?

I was practicing singing and oratory, and I now have 15xp in missile
weapons (a skill I don't have).  I'm guessing an orc pet killed another
orc with an arrow, and the xp was credited as if I had fired the arrow,
not my pet.
