Strange behaviour of the character notes

I'm not absolutely sure if this is a bug, so I decided to write up here. Also I'm usually bad at making bug reports.

I noticed that when an OOD monster shows up, a note appear (which can be seen when I press ?:).
I frequently used this to check if a monster is really tough. But now I noticed these lines with my level 26 Naga Monk:

  Code:
123809 | D:10    | Noticed a white ugly thing
123812 | D:10    | Noticed a white ugly thing
123816 | D:10    | Defeated a white ugly thing
123817 | D:10    | Noticed a white ugly thing
123818 | D:10    | Defeated a white ugly thing
123821 | D:10    | Defeated a white ugly thing
123823 | D:10    | Noticed a white ugly thing
123824 | D:10    | Noticed a white ugly thing
123825 | D:10    | Defeated a white ugly thing
123831 | D:10    | Defeated a white ugly thing


A little strange - maybe the game watches the monster's strength compared to the level it generated on instead of my character's level? I haven't got notices from Shadow dragons for a long time.

Also, sometimes when I identify an artifact, the full properties of the artifact shows up in the notes, but sometimes not.
  Code:
126248 | trove   | Identified the +2 pair of gloves of Indolence {Dex+3, Slow}
                 | (You found it on level 5 of the Elven Halls)
126261 | trove   | Identified the +0 splint mail of Feasting (You found it in
                 | a treasure trove)


Why are the properties of the splint mail not shown?
