You can see the aliens from GRASSLAND when they're invisible from GRASSLAND-2 #69

From ALIEN-FCN:

           (<==? ,HERE ,GRASSLAND-2>
        <COND (<G? ,HUNTER-COUNT 0>
               <COND (<NOT <VERB? FIND EXAMINE>>
                  <SPOILED-HUNT>
                  <COND (<VERB? ZAP>
                     <CRLF>
                     <ZAP-ALIENS>
                     <TELL "The hunting party scatters." CR>)>
                  <RTRUE>)>)
              (ELSE <TELL "There are no aliens here." CR>)>)

So when the aliens aren't hunting, you can't see them from GRASSLAND-2. But you can still try to examine them from GRASSLAND, and be told that "I see nothing special about the alien tribesmen."

Shouldn't this case cover both rooms? Actually, there are several rooms around here where you can see the aliens from, but you can't refer to them.
