On version 1.2.6.295 for Windows Vista, there is a minor glitch with dying, but only under certain conditions.

When killed by eight Really Big Sword stabs at once (in the editor, place eight sworded entities all adjacent to and facing you), instead of being drawn flailing, the player is not drawn at all but the continuous blood splatters are. This appears to only work with Really Big Swords, preferably by the default Swordsman entity.

I checked this out.

The issue is actually that the swords are all drawn on top of the player, and because they are Really Big Swords, they completely cover the player sprite.

I confirmed in the debugger that the player sprite is actually being rendered during the death animation.
