I had a tame Oriole In a cage I got from trading.  in the process of stripping some invaders of their equipment I dumped the Oriole Cage(d-b-d)... I didn't notice until the cage was in the garbage pit.  When I reclaimed it the cage was reclaimed but the oriole had escaped and marked with as forbidden.
I was unable to reclaim it like other animals(f key) but I was able to reclaim it by d-b-reclaim.

Also I tried to atom smash it, and it phased through the descending 10x10 obsidian bridge.(it was dead smack in the center when it slammed down).

Sounds normal enough.  I had a bunch of escaped small tame vermin on reclaim that behaved as you described.  There's lots and lots of things that can't be reclaimed with the f-key, only d-b.

Small animals like that are vermin, not creatures, hence do no pathing, teleport from square to square, and cannot be destroyed by conventional means except cats.

Just seems like if something is forbidable than k-f ought to work.

Edit:
or that live animals shouldn't be forbidable in the first place. 

Anyway It strikes me that something isn't quite by design here.

So this was an escaped oriole?  The look command is probably taking it as a "vermin" event and not an item, where the reclaim rectangle searches out all items in the rectangle, and it can pull the coordinates out of vermin events.  I'll note it down.
