It is an random created artifact which are not listed in Artifact Lists. So it is no bug.

That's right. There are two kinds of artifacts:
[1] Fixed artifacts. These are always the same (up to extra random resists, etc) and are hard coded.

[2] Random artifacts. These are completely random, usually suck, but are sometimes useful.

The list artifacts command only displays fixed artifacts.

Err, stupid question, but how do I compile chengband? Autoconf/automake borks on me because install.sh is missing.

Yeah, I inherited brokenness from Hengband. See this post: http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showthread.php?t=2648. Basically, you just need to edit makefile.std as appropriate and then just nmake it directly.
