I thought something seemed suspicious in 5.1 when the "move to" command no longer counted as a conditional when put immediately after an If. (I think it used to check whether the proposed move was blocked.)

Well, I checked my theory, and as I suspected, it broke Englos Defense. If you completely block the path, instead of calling for an artillery strike, the Creeps just crash the game.

Or maybe I'm misremembering. But I do know that this crash is real. So whatever the cause is, it needs to be dealt with.

You can still use Move and Move To as If conditions, it's just that they don't do what anyone thinks they do. So they get a ? to discourage using them.

Anyhow that's unrelated to the actual cause of this bug. If you give a character the Pathfinding (open only) imperative, then make it do a single step move to, it will be assigned an invalid orientation if the path is blocked. This makes the game very unhappy when it is time to draw the monster.
