Where I ignored mountebank... and won

Key cards : Mountebank, Bishop, Forager, Moat, King's court, City

So in this game I decided to ignore mountebank, for the simple reason that I don't like this card because it makes the game pretty boring.
Instead, I tried to defend myself with KC-bishop, moat, city (because the curse pile was going to be empty), and forager.

I am sure ignoring mountebank was a bad strategic play, but it's still impressive to see my victory.

I'm so lost at what is happening during Burrito Thief's 4th turn:

---------- Burrito Thief: turn 4 ----------
Burrito Thief - plays Forager
Burrito Thief - trashes Copper
Burrito Thief - trashes Copper
Burrito Thief - plays Bishop
Burrito Thief - trashes Estate
Burrito Thief - trashes Estate
Burrito Thief - receives 1 victory point chips
brokoli - trashes Copper
brokoli - trashes Copper
Burrito Thief - plays 1 Copper
Burrito Thief - buys Silver
Burrito Thief - draws Estate, Copper
Burrito Thief - shuffles deck
Burrito Thief - draws Forager, Wandering Minstrel, Copper

How does Forager trash two Coppers and Bishop trash two Estates? There is no second Estate in the hand, and no TR played on either card. It's not you trashing to Bishop, because that's listed below (although again you do it twice, and I don't see how).

Considering that all instance of trashing are listed twice, I'm assuming that it's just a weird logs bug; the each thing was only trashed once.

Yes, Goko logs show each trashing double.

I'd guess the meaning of

Quote
Burrito Thief - trashes Copper
Burrito Thief - trashes Copper

is actually

Quote
Burrito Thief selects Copper as the card to be trashed
The Copper moves to the trash

...and treating this as a two-step process was necessary in order to handle on-trash effects and multi-card trashers. But using the same terms to log both steps is kind of unfortunate.
