You are using two different words to describe the 'water' - was it a river or a brook?

If it is a brook, then it is expected - brooks are shallow and allow movement across them.

The tile is described as "brook" however there is a full 7/7 layer of water underneath.

That's how brooks work in DF. This is 100% intentional. Think of the brook tiles as representing stepping stones in the streambed or something.
