Here's an odd one for ya:

During my first ambush one of my furnace operator immagrants was made into a pincushion by a goblin crossbowman. He survived, but his upper body was mangled, his spleen and spine damaged, and his left leg broken with a bolt stuck in it.

Almost immediatly after he was recovered his wounds listed him in extreme pain, preventing him from resting properly, and as he slowly healed he never really slept or rested (although he never became drowsy, so he probably spent some time unconsious and I just didn't see it).

About a year after the incedent I decided to remove the bolt stuck in his leg VIA dumping. By now his torso had healed up and he had been under the improved fortress health care system for some time, so I figured that an extra month without an extra furnace operator wouldn't hurt anything. After two attempts (I wanted to make sure he wouldn't bleed out by accident.) he was resting without a bolt and none the worse for wear (although still in extreme pain).

Two seasons later his leg recovers during spring, and oddly enough as soon as he recovered ... he died. The message was that he officially "bled to death".

I can't provide you a save with the living dwarf, unfortunatly, but it's worth mentioning and looking into.

Were there any temperature issues?  You'll get that when they freeze or burn sometimes.
