Summary 0000960: Portal vaults do not always return the player to the correct level
Description Portal vaults currently do not work well outside the main dungeon (such as ziggurats in Pan or portals produced by the trowel card in non-dungeon areas).

Here are several issues that arise from inconsistent handling of portal vaults:
1. Leaving a ziggurat that was entered from Pandemonium takes you to a different Pandemonium level (should go back to the level you came from).
2. Creating a portal vault inside another portal vault of the same type clobbers the original portal vault's save. This can happen from Trowel use in a ziggurat, for instance: if you get another ziggurat and enter it, exiting the (stacked) ziggurat will take you back to the dungeon.
3. Leaving a bazaar that you entered in Pan (from Trowel card) takes you back to the dungeon.
4. Leaving a labyrinth that you entered in Pan (from Trowel) takes you back to the dungeon.

Most of these problems revolve around the Trowel card, apart from (1), so we could fix this by preventing Trowel from making portals outside the main dungeon areas.

 Note that 1. is a regression. In 0.5, you returned to the same level of Pan, in 0.6 that's no longer the case. It's especially bad since players learned that they can stash their runes/etc before entering the Ziggurat.

 Argh, indeed, I just lost some runes in Pan due to this bug...

 Reported by syllogism: if you use Trowel in a Lab to get another Lab entrance, entering the stacked Lab will assert and kill Crawl.

 Rather than prevent Trowel cards from working in Pan, it'd be nice if both entering normally generated Zigs and Trowel-created portals returned you to the Pan floor you left (which would make sense and also save players from losing runes). It makes sense to forbid Trowel cards from working inside portal vaults, though.

 Assigning this to kilobyte since he is currently working on overhauling this.

 Fixed by the portal_branches overhaul.
