I have seen the following in my session log several times.

Configuring faxable monsters.
Configuring Easyfax (2504737)
Configuring CheeseFax (3038166)
Configuring OnlyFax (3690803)
Faxable monster lists fetched.
Visiting Fax Machine in clan VIP lounge
Asking OnlyFax to send a fax of Irrat's butt: [1049]Irrat's butt
Receiving a fax.
You acquire an item: photocopied monster
You receive a photocopied spooky vampire from the fax machine.

Fighting the copy shows a fight with Irrat's butt, as expected, so it is likely that this is just a parsing error.

"You receive a photocopied spooky vampire from the fax machine." gets the monster from the preference photocopyMonster but I have not checked how that is being set.
 
It's the consequence manager, set from viewing the photocopied monster item description.

No idea how this could have broken.

Well it happened today with CannonFire40's butt which is what OnlyFax offered up for someone else's butt :-)

I guess maybe I need to find some time to get the debugger out...
 
Things that aren't butts work, this is a KoL bug:
Code:
This is a sheet of copier paper with a grainy, blurry likeness of a butt<!-- monsterid: 1 --> on it.<!-- itemid: 4873 -->
1 should be 1049
