i casted a gate to akara and went into the rumbling zakami, where i proceeded to buff myself with the rest. has gate always been an "affect" like this?

if not, then I ask someone to move this to bug discussion, but since i've never checked my aff after a gate, i decided to try it here first.[/b]

It is not new. However it is curious. Not officially a bug. A side effect of casting gate, I suppose...

Since gates last until the next tick, I would guess it's just indicating that you already have a gate open.

In a sense, gate is a conjuration. Tying the exits to an effect is a handy way of making sure both exits are taken down at the same time.

In addition, I imagine it is a convenient way to route the spell through filters that check for antimagic rooms and such things without having to rewrite the check within the spell itself. Just supposition there, though.
