The bug of berserk monsters attacking themselves was supposed to be fixed in issue 109. I haven't seen it in a while, but I just got it in pre13 from a master lich in the CoC graveyard. The message was the "normal" one for the bug -- "The master lich attacks the master lich. The master lich is killed! The master lich suddenly looks more powerful." I have a savefile immediately after the bug (none before, unfortunately) available if needed.
Are you sure this wasn't just one master lich killing another? Did you see the message "... decides to fight to the death in a blind rage" before it happened?
