Yes, they actually cause creatures to fall down the stairs. I warned you about the stairs bro. I told you dog.

Just kidding. They don't.

It'll make anything stockpiled on stair flash, but otherwise it don't really hurt it. If you're concerned, you could build hatches on the stairs :D

Confirmed - I have large stockpiles over multiple stairs (magma forges with rooms upstairs), and they hide the stairs visually but do not seem to affect movement.

I've found that they block movement if something is stockpiled on that square, but not just of it's designated as a stockpile. This was some time ago, I don't know if it's been changed.
