In the attached hold:

* The north NPC is trying to get to the centre of the sand square. Like Halph, he recalculates his path if you close the door, but then he sticks to the long path if you re-open it.

The weird part is not that Imperative Pathfinding behaves like this. It's that the NPC's script has "Move to Single step" inside a loop, and still sticks to the long path instead of recalculating. May or may not be a bug; certainly weird.

* The south NPC shows that the same thing happens if a Wait 0 is included in the loop, so the NPC is moving every second turn.

The NPCs no longer stick to the long paths in 5.2.0.700.
