I think I can explain that. In discard_rules, there is the rule (which
I adapted from the old code when I introduced the discard_rules in 3.1.17 or
something)

  { { ATTACK_EITHER_MOVE, DEFEND_BOTH_MOVE, -1 },
    tactical_move_vs_either_worm_known, REDUNDANT,
    "  %1m: 0.0 - att. either/def. both involving %1m (direct att./def. as 
well)\n"},

I assume you haven't translated this to you ALL_MOVE, Inge? Maybe this
makes sense only for ATTACK_EITHER_MOVE. I am always a bit confused about
the meaning of DEFEND_BOTH (i.e., what is the status of the two strings
concerned if I do not play there?), so I do not really know.
