0011089: Dwarves endlessly fail to store items in tomb furniture constructed after death
When building a cabinet or chest for a deceased dwarf, dwarves endlessly fail to store items in it. The dwarves have jobs for "Place Item in Tomb" and they carry said items to the furniture but they drop the items only to generate another "Place Item in Tomb" job.
Designate a tomb for a dwarf, then have them die. Build a cabinet or chest when other dwarves haul the deceased's clothes and items to the tomb.

This is similar to 0001445 , they can store spare rations in boxes (not ammo, i've seen failed attempts to) but they will still drop weapons and armor in barracks intended for individual or group storage. This behaviour is noticable if the Arsenal Dwarf archaic raws are restored, making them self store + equip slower more carefully.

I wasn't aware tombs could be used that way up to the recent version, a lot regarding archaic container logic seems to be broken. Observationally it would seem room type is relevant, since while racks aren't shown to currently be able to fit weapons + armor under any circumstance, boxes and cabinets work in assigned room settings.
