I had a dwarf with a broken lower spine, who didn't move from the hospital bed for seven years.  When he was taken by a mood, he got up and walked over to the workshop.  Should this happen?

This has happened to me as well.

As for whether it is a bug or not, I'm not sure, but I'm going with no. They should be able to use their arms to gain some limited mobility.

Of course, why else would dwarves risk life and limb to retrive one sock during a full scale siege onslaught.
The depressing thing is that they quite often lose life and limb(s) in the process.

On a related note, why can't we make wheelchairs for our disabled dwarves?

Because if we did that then they wouldn't be trying to hobble around on their stumps...
