http://imgur.com/a/NpzGcSo I was posting my old xbow to the auction house when the game lagged and said it timed out. Checking my auctions, the xbow was there. I went into game, removed the gem, and chilled for a while (the second screen shot). I then checked the AH again once the auction was locked in. There you can see the original xbow with the gem still in it.
Obviously this was random and not controlled, but it could perhaps be exploited by hackers which is why I'm trying to make it known. If the xbow disappears when someone buys it (which hopefully they will), I'll edit this post appropriately.
Also, if this is against the rules to post this, tell me and I'll remove it.
Verbatim message I found on Blizzard bug forum that is now pulled off. Take it for what it is, but I would think plugging and creating the normal item timeout error. I would put this in discussion... but *shrug*
