I've had it happen to when I kill a mob and they glow.. yet I cant loot. If I pull another mob within the looting range of currently unable to loot mob and kill it then loot it I get both. It's annoying trust me.
That happens to me quite frequently -- a corpse will have that yellow "loot me" glow but when I press E instead of getting loot I get a bonging error sound. Like @axiod if I can kill something else close by I can loot the second mob and get whatever the first had thanks to loot consolidation.
I do have a bunch of addons, but I remember seeing (and bug reporting) this in beta when there were no addons.
Had this happen loads. Lost plenty of loot because of this too. Sent bug reports, but still happening !
