Sounds to me like the dfhack "erase magma" bug. Have you been creating/destroying magma with dfliquids?

The bug is that you shouldn't use dfhack to erase magma, since it may leave invisible hot spots behind. The magma has to naturally spread out and disappear on its own.
I don't think I was using DFhack on that embark. I'm pretty sure I wasn't.

I'd forgotten about combat logs and have since abandoned the fortress. poo.

Uhm, although it looks like this was caused by a syndrome, have you cleared the gamelog.txt? The combat logs and all stay in there even when you start a new world. Use CTRL+F if you can remember a dwarf's name or something. Only do it if you really want to know, though.
I looked in there for "Brueck Weltseite" and all it has to say about the guy is this: Brueck Weltseite, Fisherdwarf has bled to death.

I think that this embark was unmodded aside from custom languages. (My dwarves spoke German)

Imagine you're driving a car. Push the gas pedal to the floor. Close your eyes. Remain this way for ten minutes while turning the wheel at whim. This is Dwarf Fortress.
I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.
