This seems so odd it looks like a bug, but more probably I’m missing something.
"Example" by Zyzzyva
Cold Room is a room. "A very cold room, with a door to the south."
Hot Room is south of Cold Room. "A very hot room, with a door to the north."
A giant ice cube is in Cold Room. It is fixed in place and pushable between rooms.
After going with the ice cube to Hot Room:
say "The ice melts as you push it.";
now the ice cube is nowhere;
continue the action.
The ice cube… isn’t removed from play properly? But even weirder, it doesn’t show up on the first, implicit, look action.

My guess, based on the observed behaviour, is the standard rules move a pushed object after the regular going action completes (thereby allowing the first look to correctly not see the ice cube), but that seems odd. RULES didn’t help much: there’s nothing in there that looks like a “move pushed object” rule.
Anybody know what’s going on?
