That's a good point; I think I may have a time in there for the
nonexistent "Epimenides" level (from one of the posts to the list)
which I sort of shoved into the Enigma 3 pack locally in order to try
it out.  That should be removed just in case there's a conflict, since
it doesn't correspond to any "official" Enigma 0.92 level AFAIK.
Other than that, paging through the level packs, I don't see any cases
where a game engine bug has helped me.

In some cases I used a stranger-than-usual strategy in order to solve
levels, some of which might be construed as level bugs; for instance,
in Oxyds #117 "Per.Oxyd 55", my strategy was (rot13 to avoid
spoilers):

  1. Trg pehfurq ol obyqre.  Qvr.
  2. Erfcnja, abg orgjrra gur obyqref.  Tb pbhagre-pybpxjvfr naq ragre

     Teno gur sybccl.  Uvg gur ynfre ornz.  Qvr.
  3. Erfcnja, cebonoyl abg orgjrra gur obyqref.  Tb pybpxjvfr naq chg gur

It's hard to tell whether the level designers intended this or not, so
I assume it's a valid way to solve the level, by default...
