magic bag explosion

     Make exploding bags of holding be less mysterious, and perhaps cut
done on the number of claims that they've vanished for no reason.  There
wasn't any feedback other than the explosion message itself; in particular,
the message about putting something into the bag didn't occur since that's
handled by the didn't-explode case.
