I have the WAD and checked it. This is what's happening:

ZDoom performs a check for each player upon spawning whether something is in the way and kills it if necessary. This is also done for voodoo dolls. Unfortunately one voodoo doll is standing inside a barrel and gets killed in the resulting explosion...

ic, So is this a fixable bug? there must be something that can be done

Short term solution: Remove the barrel at position (-268,3824) and it should work again.
Long term solution: Don't kill the things that are in the way, remove them! Then stuff like this won't happen.

That's the long term solution. If you want to play it right now you have to remvove the barrel.

You removed the barrel and still die? I think the savegame "has" the barrel there and you're going to have to start map 30 fresh. Savegame files include a surprising amount of data...I altered a flat once in a wad and restarted a savegame only to see the unaltered flat. You could "give" yourself a few weapons upon starting the map so that it's similar to playing from prior maps into map 30.

Edit: Dammit, those bananas are dancing in unison.

You can easily start MAP30 from scratch, cheat yourself all weapons and run through it. It's basically a typical 'escape' level where killing monsters is not the objective. You just have to get out as quickly as possible without getting killed.

Then there are still other barrels in the way.

Fixed. (Well, I think it's fixed, but I don't have the wad either.)
