Disambiguation Woes

I doubt greatly there’s any direct relation, but this resembles the inverse of the bug described in:

This code:

Shrine is a room. A blue pedestal is in Shrine. A bust of Venus is on the blue pedestal. A red pedestal is in Shrine. A bust of Cupid is on the red pedestal.

test basic with "take cupid from pedestal/take venus from pedestal/red/take venus from pedestal/blue".

test bust with "take bust from pedestal/red/i".

test me with "test basic/put venus on blue pedestal/test bust/put cupid on red pedestal/test basic/put venus on blue pedestal/test bust".
