I just did a test. Gave a phoenix a bane venom charm and hit 'e' a lot. Anyway, hit points fell steadily to 1, then the phoenix just "moved" to the capital (obviously died and reappeared there). It had lost the bane venom charm, and the next turn got back to full hit points.
So it seems like the bug doesn't exist after all, or at least not consistently. Edi, apologies for posting on the bug thread without proper testing.

I'm about 99% sure that there
is a bug out there that would explain the OP's (rather bald) statement, and perhaps Graeme's post as well. I'm not sure if this is a known bug (but I haven't seen it on the bug list), but here's how I think year end disease processing works:
In the month which new afflictions are checked for and added, there are two months worth of disease degeneration that occurs. So, for example, if you're using fever fetishes on a scout (one of the easier ways to test this), and your at month 12 with 2 hps, as you roll over to month 1, your scout will be dead.
Moreover, if you have a scout with 1hp at month 12, he will die w/ no announcement. This is the category which I think might explain the immortal dying due to disease. I suspect the first of the two disease processing steps is incomplete, and if an immortal is processed in this way, the reincarnation step is skipped (just as the death announcement step is skipped with my scouts).
I've been wanting to put together a simple test that shows this, but I believe I've seen this many times, and I believe that this is 100% repeatable.
