Randomly came across this thread, but bumping because I've had similar happen in multiple zones in the past few weeks.

NPCs in both Chardok and Siren's Grotto. Factioned with the NPCs both instances, no charm involved. NPCs were not visibly holding anything in their hands. Giving an item (torch) resulted in nothing happening, i.e. NPC still not holding anything. Repeated attempts to give the same NPC another item had the same results. I did not kill any of these NPCs to confirm loot.

It seems rare, most NPCs accepted a torch normally. Maybe it has to do with items in the NPC inventory? I can't imagine what other rarely occurring situation would cause this type of conflict. In both cases, the NPC can spawn with either a Secondary slot item, or a 2h weapon, both of which would cause conflict with a torch (though it's strange nothing was visibly held).

On p99 you can't hand items to non-charmed NPCs and have it show up in their inventory / get equipped.

Confirmed classic though, not sure if it is part of their eventual development or something deemed ripe for abuse (believe you could disable quadding on certain npcs back in the day with this)
