Comment (by sluicebox):

 I understand the bug. It's a script bug in the original that only works by
 accident due to undefined out-of-bounds memory read by a garbage
 instruction produced by a bug in Sierra's script compiler.

 The ScummVM behavior is correct, and it's what the original would have
 done if its collision code actually ran. It will take some kind of
 workaround to satisfy the broken script, but unfortunately it runs all the
 time and appears in several games, so this could be tough to fix.
