This is a very old wall glitch. It isn't particularly productive, in that the stumps still come to you so you have to be strong enough to fight them above or below ground, or yer in trouble. :-)
What is very good about this particular glitch, is that you get to see the full animation as stumps come and go. From below, you can see the enormous animation work that went into something as simple as a stump being defeated. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you do (just follow the instructions he posted above.)
There is a very similar wall glitch in King's Run, where dire wasps used to get stuck under the waterfall/hill. (I think they have cave bats there now. Whenever a low-level pirate was defeated by them, the dire wasps would "fly underground" trying to follow the pirate to jail.) You can use the King's Run wall glitch to go under and reset the stuck enemies. That is, you can use one bug to work-around another bug.
Again, because most of the stump-death animation is underground, I recommend trying this out, just to see it. It really is neat. Hard to imagine how much work went into that animation that is almost never seen, yet adds such coolness to the whole game, when you do finally get to see it.
