Are you playing with temperature or weather off? I wish I could say I've seen this, but it does sound plausible...

I believe the same thing happens in arena mode with fire men leaving "flames" behind.

Nope, weather and temp are on.

Yup, I've seen this as well.

You get similar with creatures made of powder. Their bodies turn to piles on death, but severed parts stay whole.

Slightly different (but still buggy) behavior in 40.06. Steam body parts from procedurally generated creatures remain as "solid" steam items until the game is saved and reloaded. After reloading, they immediately transform to "water" when the game is unpaused.

May be related to 0006432, another "delayed temperature change" bug.

This issue is still present in 43.05; behavior is identical to what Loci described. It seems to me that when creatures made of steam die, the upper body and everything still attached to it dissipates appropriately, while any severed body parts will fall to the ground as if they were solid or liquid, and only become water once the game is saved and reloaded.
