I collapsed a frozen pond down a couple of z-levels and immediately assigned a floor to be built over it; the water remained liquid. A few months later I realized that my mason was busy doing other stuff and unassigned the ordered floors, which still hadn't been built. The water instantly froze into solid ice walls. I know there are issues with ice behavior, but this one is new to me. Water probably should not be aware that constructions have been ordered on top of it.

the game is probably thinking that since you plan on roofing the area it thought it was indoors.  Like when you designate a door to be built then make a room so that it doesn't spill over into the hall

There's a few areas like this where simply designating something has actual changes in the world. For example, using stockpiles as firebreaks or fake roads (since trees won't grow on them, last I checked).

As firebreaks? Bugger, all that diorite gone to waste making floors.

[Grendus]

Fairly sure that stockpiles won't act as firebreaks. I've tried it, not only did it not work, but I've seen fires go through my wood stockpiles too, which sucks on multiple levels.

However, I think designated non-wood buildings and any construction will stop them. Could be wrong though.
