My little son and me were fighting the hogar at the northern part of the arnika road (northwest of the monestary), when the beast got blinded and fled. We pursued it for a while and whittled it down with spells and arrows, while it seemed to get stuck at an invisible border while trying to flee. After the final blow it dropped a hogar's tusk.
But - surprise - just shortly in front of the tusk, the program asked if we would like to proceed to the northern wilderness. The tusk itself was clearly visible, but just outside our reach. So we decided to advance to the northern wilderness, but (of course) the tusk disappeared when we entered the new area.
Any other observations like this?

Yes, it's possible to do this yourself; drop something right at the edge of a zone and you can't get close enough to pick it up.
You can also forever lose short stuff in the fountain at the entrance to Arnika--you can't get past the surface, as the heal function overrides the pick-up function.
