I can provide a 34.11 test case (and directions) right here:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=15096.msg3534815#msg3534815 [^]

The mountain biome has "Creeping Murk" clouds. The swamp biome has "acrid ooze" rain that knocks unconscious most of the time. The "acrid ooze" rain will husk things things at embark 50% of the time. There have been multiple cases where the acrid ooze creates "Creeping Murk Zombies".

My guess is that when 2-or-more biomes intersect, they "spread/randomize" the syndrome. That, or a buffer overload in the C++ somewhere.
