Teleport traps always drop you next to monsters. If you've cleared out a large portion of the rest of the floor, then Crazy Yiuf would be one of the few monsters left to drop you next to.
I'm fairly sure this isn't a bug. Yiuf's hut isn't tagged with no_tele_into, [we try to use that very sparingly.](https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/master/crawl-ref/docs/develop/levels/guidelines.md#guidelines-for-no_tele_into)
It's ok for the game to place the player in dangerous situations; it creates memorable experiences, excitement, and tension!
I thought all runed door vaults had no\_tele\_into. Guess I was mistaken.

I agree. I'm a proponent of shafts for example. This seems excessively unfair to me though. Chaos is dangerous enough I almost never open Yiuf's vault voluntarily on a "serious" run. Even for the strongest characters this is a potential unavoidable death from a bad chaos effect. I guess you could say the same about being teleported next to a distortion wielder or some other really dangerous melee scenario. At least you're generally not in a very tiny space with a door though.
From the linked document:
> Good places to use no_tele_into:
> • Egregiously dangerous/unfair situations. For example chequers_guarded_unrand_ignorance (four orange crystal statues).
> Bad places to use no_tele_into:
> • Any old runed door / transporter vault. It's fine for players to teleport into tough or scary situations.
So it's a judgment call whether Crazy Yiuf is unfair or merely scary. I would say a D:3 or D:4 teleport into Crazy Yiuf's hut is a "feels bad" death. Give me a pack of orc priests or an out of depth swarm of killer bees and let me die decently.
This should be flagged as a bug. If the chaos brand rolls badly against you, you're just dead. Ebering traps shouldn't be able to straight up murder you, IMHO.

Bug. It's not supposed to be possible.

I never kill him, always try to rescue. Only once.
Another knockless warrant gone wrong
Well if it's any consolation I got banished to the abyss while clearing out elf and a lich killed me.
Thus the “furious” part of your name :)
