I experienced this problem but didn't think to get a save at the time; I'll keep an eye out for it. It only happened once; I suspect a particular configuration is needed to trigger the bug.

To be usable, ramps need walls next to them, not just floors above-and-beside them. Did your ramps have walls next to them? See http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Ramp#Using_Ramps [^]

If that doesn't clear things up, please upload your save (a zip file containing the relevant region folder from /data/save) to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]

Well that solves the issue in my case at least; what I had was essentially identical to the diagram illustrating an unusable ramp. Thanks!
