Sounds like a pathing issue here, but then again, the kill order thing is suppousedly broken.

Ahh, well, firstly, a "flying" unit that normally can't fly is in a kind of quantum state of uncertainty between living and dead. Basically, they are there but not "there". Secondly, dwarfs can't really reach something that is flying, per se, so issuing a kill order against it is kind of moot.

Note that I might be misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

Cave swallows do fly, so the first part of what you said is incorrect.
