Comment:

 I've experienced the same bug, it also happened when piccking up the
 second last stone.

 However, I experimented a bit; my findings so far:

 1) The bug is not "tied" to this particular stone. Proof: I reloaded a
 file saved immediately before entering the church, touched no items this
 time except those necessary to proceed to the stones: I fetched the
 skeleton hand, took the items from the altar, dropped them immediately,
 then went down, picked only the 3 red and all grey stones while
 proceeding, ignoring the dagger. This time I could deposit all stones into
 the cart. However, the game crashed as soon as I went back to pick up the
 dagger from the grave.

 2) It seems not purely accidentally that it occurred at the second last
 stone. It is extremely unlikely that the original reporter and I had
 accidentally picked up an identical number of things or something like
 that.

 3) It is not directly related to the total number of things picked up. In
 my second attempt I took far less items than before, when I examined every
 bible and pillow, just to see if something was hidden beneath.

 Additional thoughts:

 This might be related to other glitches:

 I thought that I might be able to write information to network cards, so I
 took with me all of them. Later in the game, the green one found in Louis'
 flat got its inventory graphics damaged. I dropped all empty cartridges in
 front of my network interface, but later found the green one in Louis'
 flat again, where it had initially been, the image was restored to normal.
 This also happened with other items: Eden's CDs and my cigarettes went
 back to the place where they were in the beginning. At first I thought
 that this might be intentional (Eden cleaning her flat), but why remained
 2 cups and a knife on the floor, and why should she bring this network
 card back from MY flat to Louis, leaving everything else in a mess?

 It seems that there is still something seriously messed up in the item
 handling code.

 Version played: German 1.1 on ScummVM 1.9.0
