There was a one tile sized hole in the roof of my fortress that the goblin was pushed into by a wardog. Guh.

Got a goblin ambush on a new fort, sent my wrestlers/hammerdwarfs out to fight them off.

One of the goblin wrestlers ends up inside my fort - right below where the battle took place. He's wounded - a hip and leg wound so it looks like he was fighting someone.

I can only assume someone hit him through the floor (since the area on the floor above is covered with a stockpile and thus hole free - it's also an all natural floor).

The rest of the squad spanned on the surface, died on the surface - and the part of my fortress closest to the edge of the map is either surrounded in magma or water - so he didn't spawn inside.

He immediately started pathing back to where he was supposed to be and ended up getting caught in a cage trap.

Is your embark area non-square? (standard dimensions are 6x6, other dimensions like 5x7 or 3x2 have been reported to cause enemies to spawn at non-map-edges)

If not, are you aware that enemy ambushers still spawn at the edges like everyone else?  When they suddenly appear, they're not spawning, they're just getting discovered.  They can sometimes sneak deep into your fortress before being discovered.
