	ActuAlly, you forgot the absence of a visible shopkeeper.
I figure that the "ghost" had used a Wand of Invisibility on the
shopkeeper before being pounded. If so then it may not even be memory,
an attempt to move through an invisible shopkeeper would be
interpreted as an attack, that is the guy attacked th keeper simply
by trying to enter the room.
