This is a ZDoom issue.

There's a reason ZDoom labels it "Cripple sound system for silent BFG trick." :P

Did vanilla let you silence the BFG by stepping over a pickup? As I recall, only wall-using or long drops are mentioned in the guide that described the trick.

And that's why this won't be investigated any further. The 'silent BFG trick' option really cripples the sound system to a degree that several things stop working properly.

No, you can only do this in ZDoom/Skulltag. You can't silence the BFG by running over a pickup in vanilla Doom, because no pickup sound is heard by other players.
