A dwarf created an artifact mechanism from a mood, and died. I can't place or use the mechanism when I'm building traps -- it doesn't show up on the list. Even when it's the only free mechanism in my fort, I can't place any traps.

Okay... firstly, is it accessible?

Assuming it is, do you have a furniture stockpile? It is possible that there is already a job for the item to be moved to the stockpile, which will stop you building with it. Check the jobs menu (j) for any furniture stockpiling related jobs, and wait until they are all finished. Alternatively disable furniture moving on the orders menu. Try building with it again.

I wasn't able to make a burial site with a stockpiled artifact casket either.  Don't you think the legendary artisan should have the option of being buried in his own banded, menacing-spiked coffin?

An artifact mechanism should be a clockwork robot. Like a dwarf made of steel, able to cut your enemies to ribbons with its ultra-mighty unliving body. But do dwarvoids dream of electric fluffy wamblers?

I had a legendary bone carver die of starvation after walling himself into a room and being forgotten about (oops), his artifact turtle bone coffin is now simply sitting in the furniture stockpile, unable to be placed.

One of my dwarves made an artifact glass chain and then got eaten by a hydra. I wanted to put the chain in my jail so I could have happy prisoners, but it doesn't show up on the list of restraints.

I think I have the same problem with clothes. One of my dwarves went insane and died, but all his clothes remain on the floor, they cannot be removed by any means. (and it still shows the dead dwarf as owner).

Perhaps the ownership flag is not being cleared from the artifacts when their owner dies.

Why would you desecrate such sacred objects by letting CIVILIANS use them?

I know that in the previous version, if a dwarf made an artifact weapon and died, the weapon could be used in weapon traps.  Does anyone know if this has been changed?
