Of course, the really mysterious thing is that Hagrid's broken wand 
still works somewhat reliably, whereas Ron's broken wand was behaving 
in extremely loopy ways.  This was necessary, of course, for Lockhart 
to have the memory charm rebound on him in the end, but not 
consistent.  The bit about the broken wand making Ron burp up slugs 
was of course just to educate us about the fact that the wand would 
behave that way, so we know to expect it later.
