0002222: Dwarf tries to clean missing body part
I have a dwarf that is missing her nose, but inventory shows she has a blood covering on her nose. She is stuck in a loop trying to clean her non-existent body part and failing (which I believe makes this different than the existing "Cancel Clean Self: Area Inaccessable" bugs)

Just reproduced in 31.06, with two dwarves: one missing a right hand, the other missing left lower arm. Basically, I think the bug is that blood coverings on body parts are not getting removed from the dwarf if that dwarf loses that body part.

An addendum to the save file: it is now late Spring and Soapy has picked up the blood of two different goblins on the missing foot, while the blood of the original goblin has gone away. I put her in a burrow restricting her access to water right after making the save, so it seems the blood will eventually go away on its own, and that it's possible to pick up new contaminants on the missing limb.

I am seeing this also in 40.11. A dwarf lost his hand during a brawl, and at some point during this brawl the missing hand got blood on it (possibly before the hand was lost).

He is now going down to the water every once in a while to Clean Self, but it doesn't help because the blood stays on the missing hand.

I'm not sure what causes the spatter to be retained on missing parts yet, but I've put in a check for the cleaning behavior now so they won't try to cover the missing part with water forever. I've also made the check watch out for spatter on internal body parts that haven't popped out (which also would not be cleaned).
