So Urist McDonglebongle and his friends either enjoy beating themselves in the face with my alunite blocks, or this is somehow a bug.

What I see happening is they go to do something and then sometimes cancel the job, citing a "forbidden area" as the problem. The only problem is that I don't HAVE any areas blocked off. I'm not even sure HOW to forbid an area. If I could just say "don't walk here", that'd be nice cuz they'd stop trapping themselves in my magma channels behind my *Bauxite Wall Grate*... >.> Their screams grow annoying.

If I had a dollar for every dwarf whose feelings I didn't care about, I'd have seven dollars, with more coming in the fall.

Are dwarves allowed to go outside?

They were. However it shouldn't have mattered. The location one was trying to go to was indoors. Firmly. :P

They might have found a shortest path that went through the outside somewhere in the middle.  Dwarves aren't smart enough to not path through forbidden areas.  Instead, they walk along, suddenly realize they're standing in a forbidden tile, walk back a space or two, pick the same job, path through the forbidden area...

If ignorance is bliss, why are my dwarves all tantruming?

Dwarves, we have Alzheimer from Year 2.  Or was it Year 1, I forgot.

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.
