Yeah, this is pretty much expected behaviour. When you break a part of the RAWs, it tends to affect the rest of the RAWs in a cascade. For example, people who edit dwarf RAWs incorrectly tend to have them become alligators or the like.

In this case, the materials are all just glitching out, which I've seen happen when you try to create an inappropriate material... which is exactly what happened here.
