Comment (by sluicebox):

 Here's something that may be confusing things: The celery and the
 paperclip are programmed in a weird way that makes clicking on them work
 even when Do is broken. Nothing else in the game is written this way. This
 means that just because you can pick those two things up doesn't mean Do
 isn't already broken. The feather and candies are normal, so if you can
 pick them up then Do still works. (I would love to see the code comments
 as to why they wrote staple/celery that way, it's suspicious.)

 I still can't reproduce this yet, but we're getting close. I bet the
 reason it seems random is that it depends on subtle things like which
 icons you select and when, along with when you mouse over exits. It's good
 news that we've narrowed it down to before the twinkie, because that's
 only five screens. I just need to trip it once and we'll have it. I know
 it's difficult upon breaking it to say "okay, what all did I click and how
 did I mouse in the last two minutes", so if you have a way to record
 yourself or something that could help. At this point I understand a lot of
 what's happening, there's just one missing link I don't see.

 I'm having fun chipping away at this, I hope you are to! Also, I'm on the
 scummvm discord channel if you ever want to chat or try stuff.
