Note: This happens when they dig in horizontally and would need to move horizontally to escape.

Hm, I wonder if this is related to the pathing issues that FBs have when they get into water.

Testing back in 0.34.11 found that dwarves will path up to 20 tiles through water to a dry tile to escape. If the "obvious escape route" is further than 20 tiles away after flooding, they will not move. What was your situation like?

This may be related to how merchants path through water, and how they also refuse to path back out once they're in, even if the shore is a single tile away.

UristDaVinci: Paths as short as three or four tiles were still ignored.

Talvieno: Sounds like it's the same basic bug surfacing in different circumstances.
