I was trading with the elves with a large imbalance in their favour. However, I seemed to have let some biological material slip into my selection of goods. I attempted to trade, and they complain about a "poor, gentle creature"(probably a goblin) while their mood changes from normal to ecstatic. I don't think that this is expected behaviour. This is version v0.27.169.33e.

I've gotten that since 33b.  My guess is, the code for generating the trading emotion comes before the code for rejecting unethical goods.  It is a weird bug and one that had me stymied dealing with the elves before reading the forum some.

It's possible that the emotion code simply takes into account both what profit they'd get from it, AND any auto-reject items. Thus, if you give them a good enough offer, their morale could go higher even though they reject the trade as containing an unfit item. In theory you might be able to keep offering extremely good trades with one bad item to boost their mood so high that you'll be able to get a much better trade rate when you finally offer them a set of items that're all acceptable.

I've seen this reported before, don't know if it's in the list. In the old thread it just made the elves happy when a trade was rejected.
On a side note, maybe they rejected the trade because of one of the items being bloodied?

It's Bug 544.  I'll get to it at some point.
