It seems somehow inappropriate to me that the enslaved Duvessa remains friendly, yet goes berserk, when she kills Dowan. Bug of feature?

Next time you do this, make sure to enslave Dowan's soul. I wonder what will happen.

I am not sure of how to see this; Du&Do are an odd duo that works strangely from more than one point of view (going crazy if one of them dies AND odd stair interaction). This would add one more oddity.

When Dowan dies, Duvessa will go berserk as soon as she is in LOS of the player. Looks like that is exactly what happened in your game. Not a bug.

Enslavement doesn't change anything. This sequence of events with enslavement has been brought up multiple times across multiple years as an "interesting moment" in crawl, and is considered good flavor.
