Hmm...it's not entirely clear that e is thrown at the same square e requested to be thrown at.  Judging by the text I quoted, the nearest antecedent for the last 2 words "that square" is "a square which is occupied by an Impassable Object".  i.e. the square the player landed on, not the one e aimed at.
