I've noticed that on the Mac SE/30 the fireplace on the title screen of Beyond Dark Castle is not animated when idle. When the game starts the animation is fine. The idle fireplace animation is fine on the 68000 models of Macintosh. I noticed there was a slightly newer build of the game on Macintosh Garden (v1.2) but this doesn't fix this. I can't see any other issue with the game, but I wonder if anyone might have figured out why this happens. The accompanied compatibility table does explicitly mention SE/30, so it's unlikely to have been an edge case to the game's developers.
