I never noticed that. When I emptied the chests in the small building in the graveyard, they were all emptied, and I didn't realize they were connected until I picked up some dropped items, became encumbered, and dumped some stuff in a chest to finish off the area.
There is another glitch with some of the chests in the merchant's guild; some of them have zero weight when open. A couple people have also had problems with these disappearing (or just disappearing at night) when dropped in certain locations. One was gone just outside of a building, but could be seen and opened with Telekinesis from inside the building. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />
