'Could we have caused this error?' I reloaded the rom using one of my own srm saves (from the exact same point in the game), and low-and-behold, the "bookcase" was in place.

This should not have occurred, and if anyone else out there gets to this point, you should NOT GO DOWN THERE! Well... You can down, but DO NOT place your seals on the pedestals. You will get stuck and have to restart.
Oh, wow...! Shades of the "Aris" bug!! We are snakebit! I'm even getting the Aris bug when I play through from scratch in the Japanese ROM now. Anyway, we need to try to isolate the cause of the seal room bug and place a caveat on our Lennus page.
