item disappears

Have you disabled floor stacks? It's a birth option, and with it off each tile can only hold one item. That makes it much easier to run out of valid tiles for items to drop to.

This is the kind of bug that I'd expect to be getting reported frequently if it were at all widespread, so there must be something odd going on specific to your game.

Hi. You are right, for some reason I have disabled floor stacks on birth, which is fairly odd to me, since I don't remember selecting it. Good if artifacts cannot be lost that way...

I think most players use stacking, so that is why you don't get bug reports. I think I just create new character, and try again.

Glad we got to the bottom of that. You're right that most players use stacking - the option is really only included to enable people to re-create Moria-style play - it should really be grouped with the ironman options.

Another thread (http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showthread.php?t=5569) reported that stacking didn't work anymore. Is it the case? Because even when setting birth_no_stacking to "no", I don't seem to be able to get piles of items on the ground. A regression when birth and adult options were merged? Or is the option only toggable during birth process?

Birth options can only be meaningfully modified during character birth. I wasn't aware that you could change them after that, in fact; I guess that's just so your next character using that file will have the modified options.
