How do you deal with your dwarves following canceled orders? I order a squad of crossbowdwarves into a tower, but they find a way through an access tunnel to engage goblins in melee. When I cancel the order they still have to go to the last known point of the order before returning to whatever they were doing.

Military always do this. They head to their last station order before turning back and doing a task or going to the meeting hall. I think the best you can do is pause, give them a new order to station somewhere safe, unpause for a tick, and then cancel the order. They'll still go to that new station point before doing something useful though, but it's a bit better than wandering outside alone when there might be ambushes.
