Re the special info: This does not make sense to me. It does return $stat[moxie], but I can't really justify this -- $stat[moxie].to_int() is 3, not 0.

- What's there to explain? The not-logged-in value of functions that are only meaningful when logged in is pure garbage. There was no effort expended towards having them return a particular value; any value that doesn't immediately cause a crash is good enough. There is no guarantee that the garbage value will be consistent between versions of the program, or even successive calls to the function.
