I downloaded the nightly build r1321 and noticed a couple unusual things with jewelry. When I tried on an aquamarine ring it pseudoed as {excellent} and gave me +2 speed. The next time I found an aquamarine ring it pseudoed as {tried} until I put it on when it changed to {excellent}. Next I tried a sea shell amulet and got the following series of messages:
"You feel strangely ugly."
"You are wearing a sea shell amulet {excellent}."
"Oops, it feels deathly cold."
Then I look at my euipment and it is correctly indentified as {cursed}
It seems to me that any time you get a flavor to pseudo as {excellent} that subsequent items should also be {excellent} rather than {tried}. Also seems like an item that makes me feel ugly should not pseudo as {excellent} especially if it happens to not have a curse.
