Amusing story to a glitch in the Kindle version

So I'm playing while waiting on my wife's car to be worked on.
In the Sewers, Level 3, and have played for about an hour since the last save.
Spell points are a bit low, so it's time to dredge my way back. Also got a few goodies and some EP's, so saving is a good idea also.
Go back to the portal on the east wall and head up. Only this time, I'm in Skara Brae.
The location feature lists the street - I believe it was Death Archer - but I haven't relearned the town layout, as I've mainly been hugging a path from the Review Board to the Guild to the Scarlet Bard all this time. It looks like I'm in a plaza, as there is a lot of space to the West.
I keep heading west and I get nowhere. I'm attacked a lot. I change direction and find a pathway to the east. It's blocked by snow. I wander some more I find the same snowed in wall.
Now I realize what's going on: I somehow have arrived outside of Skara Brae. AAAUUUUGHH! Now I'm going nuts as I have no idea how to get back to the Guild and save my progress, which I really don't want to lose.
Fortunately, I calm down, hug the outer wall, and end up finding Sinister Street in the south end. That gets me back into town.
Whew! Ended up being quicker than going back through the sewers, but it was worrisome for a few.
This happen to anyone else?
For those who have read the hint book, maybe this is what the narrator was talking about with the east wall driving people to madness
