If you try to make an NPC face towards itself using the Self option of the Face towards like guard command, nothing happens. This is fine.

But if you use one of the other options, the NPC might decide to face towards itself anyway. If this happens, its orientation becomes invalid. Armed NPCs die because their sword ends up on them, and unarmed NPCs disappear because they don't have graphics for that situation.

Appears fixed in 5.2.0.508, at least, I couldn't get it to go wrong using some methods of getting it to face towards something that ends up on the same tile.
