I suspect that too. Btw, this reminds me of a mistake I made myself
when making the lan/san move parser for my engine.  The move: b8d7 (as
sent by xboard) to me first went through the various san cases before
lan, which made the engine think that b8d7 meant Bishop on 8th rank to
d7, which clearly isn't the case :)   With olithink, it was later the
night at d7 that moved diagonally to b5, so I think the engine
misinterpreted the move b8d7 just as mine once would. Perhaps this too
is a problem with gnuchess 5 ?
