0005680: Undead dwarves in cages impossible to pit
If undead dwarves siege your fortress, and you capture some in cage traps, they do not show up on the pitting list. Animal piles soon fill up with undead dwarves because there's no easy way to get rid of them.

You can also not move them from one cage to another built a built cage.

Perhaps related to how dwarves that accidentally get caged are hard to get out, and how undead dwarves get treated like citizens in respect to burial.
Set cage traps.
Wait for a siege of the undead.
Designate a pit using activity zones.
Select "Set Pit/Pond Information," which lists non-dwarven creatures within your control. Undead dwarves are not listed.
No tags attached.
