There is a 50% chance it was just a hash signature collision.  Two different
chess positions produced the same hash signature.  The move in that hash entry
was unfortunately illegal, which was reported above.  I just checked the last
300 logs I have and I didn't see any.

It is therefore possible that the SE implementation stored an invalid move
directly, rather than having a key signature collision...  Which it was would
be impossible to say unless you can reproduce it...
