I've had this happen in live RoS. No beam, but the same pink "Bad Data : )" text. This was about a month or so ago in RoS. It's possible this is something other than Ramaldi's Gift considering I've encountered a very similar thing in live.
Just kidding, on closer inspection I can see the name saying that it is gift.

It's Ramaladni's Gift. Not implemented yet, but drops already.
