Ok, so I downloaded and generated a world in .40.07, and started my normal embark procedure. In the process of putting up my initial wall, my mason decided to just build piece after piece, stopping after a few wall sections were built. I noticed they were strange colors compared to my normal gabbro walls... blue, light grey, and dark grey. I hovered over the strange sections with (k) and got two "clear glass walls" an "unknown material" wall, and a "unknown frozen creature substance" wall.

Anyone seen this happen yet?

It's this bug.  Looks like fallout from fixing 1091?

Thats what I was leaning towards, very strange bug then.

Interesting.  I don't get the color mix on Linux; my walls are 1 tile of the actual build material used (gneiss blocks in my case), followed by N-1 tiles of "Unknown material" or "Unknown material block".  But all tiles are the same color, which is probably why I focused on the number of build materials used, rather than the composition of the resulting walls.  I'm guessing the colors and the interesting materials are only on Windows and/or Mac, and that it's a result of the game using uninitialized memory for the materials.
