Addendum to the addendum. If you are given /consent to loot a
corpse and you try to loot a container with a no-drop item in
it, it used to be that the container would disappear. The
container still disappears, but if you stop looting and loot
again, it will be back. Seems they fixed that bug, though in
a clumsy way.

Unfortunately, if you aren't running at 640x480, you cannot
open the instrument bag without switching to inventory mode,
which defeats the whole purpose of hotkeying inventory slots.

I don't think so. I don't think it's even labeled as a magic
item.
