Definitely not canonical, I'd say. But I did have a thought in the bath last night - maybe there is a small herocult of Zorak Zoran that teaches Trolls a Heroquest that allows them to resist the poison effect of Iron. (In the same way that ZZ can already use Fire which is normally shunned by Trolls). I'd guess that this quest is very rare and very dangerous which is why we don't know more about it....
