  My guess is that this is related to the way the potions now work.

  Potions act like scrolls and wands, in that they contain a spell which is what 
is actually cast (the stat potions are different, in that they are hardcoded to 
what they do, but they could actually be changed at some point also - all that 
is needed is spells that permanently increase stats).

  Back to the point - when the potions are created on maps, or in shops, the 
loader does the right thing and adds the appropriate spell inv to the potion - 
basically, it converts the 'sp 35' to the heal spell.

  I note that the move_creator function doesn't deal with treasures at all - 
thus, for example, if you had a creator make an orc, the orc would have no treasure.

  The create DM command will in fact do the correct thing as related to treasure 
lists, so to fix that, the 'sp 35' line from the arch should be removed, with 
soemthing like a 'randomitems potion_heal', and then create a matching 
treasurelist that contains that one spell.

  I'd also bet that if you took those broken healing potions, put them on a map 
that got swapped out and swapped back in again, they might start working.
