melancholy swimmers sending mixed messages

Dorfs with swimming skills that get struck by melancholy will jump into the nearest river and tread water until they die of dehydration. Might not be considered a bug but its still kinda strange they swim to save their lives but not drink the water their floating in.

I think the point is that the dwarves will try to commit suicide, but at the same time they'll swim in a desperate attempt to avoid drowning to death. I assume babbling dwarves, though completely mad, still retain their swimming skill, even though they forget how to use their alcohol intake orifices.
