"(intentional/insurpassable programming paradox, the ammo must hit your inventory before it will go to the ammo slots)"

No it isn't unsurpassable (+spelling). Consider warcraft 3's custom map DotA where items are tomes specially for this reason. (Good luck understanding that if you haven't played Warcraft 3. Anyway, on with my point:) You can pick them up even if your inventory is full, and in case the item combines with a recipe no error message is generated. If no combination is possible, the item is, of course, dropped again. And the infinite loop in Terraria can be avoided by making it ignored for a short while, which is already done.
