According to entry for 000771:

000771 ▨ (configuration in save not a bug) [pathfinding] pathing fails with certain stair/ramp configurations

I have a save where my miners are stuck on opposite sides of a series of ramps, and building staircases up/down to the affected area did not change the pathing. 

Would the save be of any interest, or is the entire pathing issue closed?

Exact issue:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Built a series of ramps (3 wide) that alternate direction (N/S) down the north face of a magma pipe to get beneath the water table.  Once below the water table the mining dwarf has been unable to go up the ramps.  Attempted to build stairs up and down to allow the miner to exit, is unable to do so and started to hunt vermin.

Not sure if this is your problem, but one thing with ramps, is that in order to go to a higher level, they have to have a wall on the lower level. In other words, there has to be only 1 level that they can travel to in any direction for it to work to travel up.  So if they have the option of west and west/above, they won't be able to take the west/above path.  Not sure why they wouldn't take an available staircase though.
