In 3.12, all permanent walls are brown instead of grey, except when it comes to vaults. The only way of checking vault walls (without spoiling yourself with the edit files) is trying to tunnel into them, and while walking around the vaults looking for a way in you'll probably wake lots of nasties up. I found out that a better way of locating the entrances is to cast Magic Mapping and then use the look command and mouse-click on the wall tiles.
Do you consider this a bug that's cheap to take advantage of?
Personally, I think making use of such quirks in Angband is okay. There are also quirks that work against you, like the combining of staves that leads to worse charge/staff ratio and thus higher weight and riskier recharging. Especially if you discovered the trick yourself I consider you worthy of using it, if someone else told you the trick, using it is a bit cheaper.
I personally abstain from using birth options marked as cheating and using backup savefiles to come back from the dead, but anti-summoner corridors and stairscumming are fine by me. But each to his own, I totally respect Power Diver for his chivalrious code of honour and even though I think every win is impressive, no matter how many corridors dug or artifacts scummed for, Power Diver's skill is of course extra wonderful.
