Summary0008253: Dwarf removing construction gets "creature swapped" onto construction tile, removes floor beneath his feet
DescriptionA dwarf removing a walkable construction can be "creature swapped" onto the construction he is removing. If this happens, he will happily finish removing the construction and potentially plummet to his doom.

Steps To Reproducebuild a 1-tile wide span of floor tiles
order a middle tile removed
use station orders to march military dwarves back and forth across the span until the removing dwarf ends up on the tile being removed
Additional Information("Creature swapping" is when a creature in tile A moves into tile B and a creature occupying tile B is automatically relocated to tile A. Creature swapping occurs more frequently with animals and visiting creatures, however fortress dwarves will occasionally swap tiles as well.)

This is a really old bug that goes back to 40D at least, maybe older. Also related is that they'll remove a construction while another dwarf is standing on it and sometimes (as is often the case for stairs), they'll stand right on the stair they're removing, causing them to fall.

@smjjames: Some of those details are outdated. Dwarves will cancel removal if another dwarf is standing on the tile (though there appears to be a timing window where the tile will still be removed right after another dwarf moves to it). The fact that they don't cancel when they are the ones standing on the construction becomes all the more buggy in comparison.

The stair removal problem, however, still applies.

It's entirely possible that I've been observing the 'creature swap' issue.
