I started to make a video of it, because I thought a olman was blocking the waterflow at first, but this is just weird.

See the video.

Oh also, no mods what so ever. Completely vanilla, the only thing turned off in the init is weather.

Is the fortification carved or constructed?

Carved...

Your question doesn't make much sense if you look back at it. If it were constructed, I wouldn't be able to mine it out. And the wall was holding back water, so as soon as I mined it out to build a fortification it would begin to flood.

Could be the water pressure. I had a map with a canyon filled with water, and this always happened. It stopped happening after I made a dam.

Yeah, this is the pressure situation described in the gamasutra article, where a double layer of water shoots down quickly once it can.

No idea about the fortifications.  Looking at the code, water should flow through them.  Do fortifications usually block water for people?

About the fortification blocking flow, it usually doesn't.

I used it for my volcano, which was visible from the surface however, so it might just be the pressure i'm guessing?

It still doesn't explain my miner simply walking out like nothing happened, instead of wandering aimlessly in the 7/7 water before drowning.

The miner doesn't need to be able to swim to move along the floor and up the stairs.  They head toward the nearest safe area.
