In Hold Anonymous, if you stand on the left tunnel in first level 1N1W and you press control-up then Tendry will pass through the tunnel and stop moving there.

This is because the quickest path to the north that the pathfinding detects is E, N. It tries to avoid going over tunnels, but it doesn't understand that when standing *on* a tunnel, going in the direction it faces will either cause you not to move or transport you to a new tunnel.

I'm not exactly sure how it reacts after going through the tunnel: this seems to depend on the precise layout of the room and the path that it has chosen. In this case, it tries to make a NW move to get back on track, but the Orthosquare blocks that move, so the pathfinding aborts.
