: This particular platform is initially extended from the floor to the ceiling.
: If you activate the platform in Forge, stand on the now descended
: platform, and then look up, the ceiling where the top of the platform was
: is solid. In other words, there does not seem to be any room (no open
: space) for the Jugg to situate itself before the platform descends. It
: would seem then that the game engine is being asked to draw the Jugg
: initially inside the ceiling. Perhaps that is causing the platform to
: malfunction?

This was my thought exactly. I think that we all know what FM was trying to do here - have a new jugg appear once you've saved your game - one that could take you out even if you tried to hide, but to give you a reward for your efforts. It's curious that he left it in the game though. I'm sure he recognized that it didn't work. I suspect that his zelousness to get the game out (remember, this level was created in a very short time frame to replace one that wasn't good enough) took priority over fixing a bug that didn't affect gameplay. Too bad - if you're right, this would have been very easy to fix - replace the ceiling over the platform with a hollow box.
