Behavior is consistent with 40d. This is probably intentional, for now at least.

I think this is general problem with zones. If the zone has multiple tiles, they'll still only use the "first" valid one for zone jobs.

I think it's the closest, not the "first"; I've had a 3x3 garbage zone where dwarves would pile stuff into 5 tiles, with the majority being in one of two tiles. The usage corresponded roughly to the direction they were most likely to come from, and the 4 tiles with no items were the center tile and 3 tiles in a direction with no dump items declared.

Mainly bug is a unlimited feature of garbage zone. Is there are ticket for this?
