Yep, highly annoying. I have had several no-i-will-not-put-this-insanely-heavy-object-down and over-my-dead-body syndromes. Forbidding item wont help, nor dumping or things like that. It's like they forget they're carrying something. But it seems they only release their cargo when they reach the border of burrow (YAY for that at least).

Not as annoying "bug" as military refusing to fight, though.

Could you add a tile of burrow to a spot near the slowpoke?  When Urist reaches the tile and drops the cargo, edit the burrow to remove that tile.

This hasn't been tested because I don't do a lot of outdoor projects, so at most I'll have someone hauling a log.  (One particularly funny story about this issue was a fisherman carrying a giant sperm whale.)

I'm pretty sure you can't remove tiles from burrows. If you can then I would like to know how because deleting burrows whenever a mistake is made can cause some problems.

Hit enter with the burrow selected, hit r to toggle between paint and erase.

Well I recall once I sent a squad to kill the goblins, and axe lord went, beer barrel in hand.

Urist McSergeant:  Private McAxelord, where do you think you're going with that barrel?! We have goblins to kill!
Urist McAxelord: Sir, this is not a barrel sir!  This is my wooden flask sir!  I'm being efficient sir!
Urist McSergeant: .... carry on then.

Ah, a small goblin army came. But this time some Urist McFarmer was carrying a camel corpse!
Oh no, put that down, go to the burrow quickly!

Unfortunately he didn't want to drop his camel, so I sent a squad to rescure him. To my dismay, the camel hauler returned alive, but the squad lose two soldiers before all goblins were killed.
