Pushing objects to other locations

I have a problem with pushing objects from one room to another, which may be
a bug in Inform or the libraries as an identical error occurs using the
demonstration Toyshop (not Magic Toyshop).

In Toyshop, the little red car's description is not printed the turn after
it has been pushed. The version I used was compiled using Inform 5.3
(v1262/at) using the Acorn User (5/5?) libraries as a V3 game, as
'plural_filter' lines wouldn't compile under a later compiler.

In my game, a crate can be pushed and also gives no description the turn
after it is pushed. This was compiled as V5 using Inform 5.5 (v1503/at) and
the latest (5/11) libraries. Both times, no errors or warnings were given at
compile- or run-time.

Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

Thanks!
