If you go through the patch notes in the ramp up to Luclin bards started to break very frequently. All the way to late PoP every other patch note has an amusing anecdote of something broken. Selo's and Sow/Jboots are in differing slots then and now so the behavior I'd expect would be them to stack but the highest take precedence. In January, 2003 bard songs were given there own little window to help with the clutter. Could this guy not have been getting you to free up a redundant buff slot so it would have room to stick?

While I don't doubt bards had buggy periods, I'm pretty convinced sow should block selo during our current patch on server. We have that shown in these logs after final velious patch but before Luclin, end of luclin / PoP, and now during Kunark era (or is this still vanilla EQ?):

There is nothing more annoying when someone asks you to run them
somewhere, FP to HH or other, sure, I'm going that way, you then spend
5mins asking them are you encumbered? *No, do you have SoW? *Yes it RoX
makes me run fast, 'Disband' .. that's the lameness!
It was only an opinion .....

Above quote describes exactly what happened in these logs.

About 2 months ago due to the fact that if you had this on then someone used
Selo's, the SOW would be cancelled out from thereforth.

No no, I meant that the foot would stay on your screen, but from then on, it
would have no effect. *This was a horrible thing, because in places like
cazic, if the bard hit the foot on accident or something, from then on, the
puller had to get sow again yadda yadda, it was quite an annoyance. *Now the
selo's just doesnt show up on your icons if you already have SoW.

Above quotes seems to imply selo used to overwrite sow, but now sow blocks selo. Not sure if dev's would code in the overwrite for first 6 months of refresh, but seems that happened.
Can we call this case closed? Classic behavior seems determined.
