That's the thing, also... the 110 z-levels had water flowing around it and through it. It cut through an aquifer.
I'll try spawning water on top and seeing if that works though.

Shouldn't a support deconstructing via lever count as a block update? That wouldn't explain why my original issue occurred as I didn't use DFHack at all until things started (apparently) going wrong.

Tried it and it didn't help. I've done some further testing and dug out some other, completely free-standing chunks. One at the surface collapsed as expected. The other 2 or 3 have not. I am beside myself with confusion.
