0002006: Bushes are broken - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup Tracker

Notes

It may make some sense to have a small chance of the projectile stopping. Eating orbs of destruction is a bug -- either the orb should fly through, or explode there. Because of both the orb being much wider than most projectiles, and technical reasons (there are big issues with two monsters on the same square), exploding sounds better. For spells targetted at the bush, they correctly fly further, I see no bug.

If you target the bush itself, such spells effectively vanish, and "sparse" or not, covering a bush in napalm should make it burn - spells passing through bushes is one thing, but silently having no effect when shooting directly at the thing's square seems strange, to say the least. However, if they're actually supposed to be flat-out immune to projectiles, it's inconsistent that they block aoe missiles like fireball and are damaged by piercing bolt spells (especially as they don't block exploding ammo or take damage from penetrating ammo). (Also, it's somewhat curious that such seemingly whispy things have 30 AC.)
