This can happen waaay to often on N! games with all those respawning former foos, plus there's no case where it is as important to be able to quickly locate and head for the exit.

You might not know that, but this was done in at least one roguelike game before: I think its official name was Jaunt Trooper: Mission Thunderbolt (as well as in its sequel, mission Firestorm, available for Macs only). The items dropped down the stairs this way could become damaged in the process (you didn't want to fire damaged weapons there, unless absolutely necessary) or even break on impact. On the other hand, you could fix damaged objects as well, or drop a pillow there first to make the drop safer.
I'm not sure about the policy here about links to other gaming sites, but I can give the link if you contact me in private.
Regards,
Zarin.
