When shrinking in the Alice area, EATME-FCN sets NONLANDBIT and TRYTAKEBIT on all objects in your inventory while moving them to POSTS-ROOM. The idea is clearly that the objects should no longer be takeable, neither directly nor automatically.
But on your way back, CAKE-FCN will indiscriminately clear TRYTAKEBIT from all takeable objects, even if they had that bit before the puzzle. Which could be bad.
The objects in the game that have both TAKEBIT and TRYTAKEBIT are, as far as I can tell:
PALANTIR-1
DEPOSIT-BOX
GOLD-KEY
WAND
So I guess it's only a problem if we add TRYTAKEBIT to other objects later.
