Bug Bounty: Imoen walked through mountain of Gnoll Fortress

After clearing the Gnoll Fortress I was on the far western side of the map, I selected my entire party using the button on the bottom right, then clicked on the bottom end of the visible stairway that leads into the Xvart area. Imoen walked with increased speed through the non-passable mountain and engaged enemies at the bottom, while the rest of my party walked down the stairs at a normal pace. She was no longer visible and the fog of war did not lift. I had to rush my party down to clear the fog so that I could see her again.

This could be linked to the pathfinding issues. Again today I issue a simple pathfinding command, the characters walk strait south and get stuck on a wall and stand there.
Current (bizarre) behavior: For unknown reasons, sometimes upon giving a character a command they will start walking in a line and never stop, moving right through anything that may be in their way including the edge of the map. I assume this would be a pathing issue but I seriously have no clue. I also have no clue what triggers this odd behavior. Honestly it is somewhat rare that it happens but it has happened to me at least 4 times since I bought the game. I now give you a picture of Jaheira moving through an unwalkable pond in Peldvale.
and she would have kept on going into the oblivion that is outside the map had I not given her a new order. If they are in an unwalkable area when given a new order they do not get stuck but "teleport" to the nearest occupiable space to where they were.
I got a similar event when walking through a wall in ar0514 (while looking for Grael).
And there have been reports of being able to walk through walls in Mulahey's cavern and the Gnoll stronghold.
If I figure out how to re-create it, I'll let you know.
That said I also didn't notice any banter when I took that picture but that does not necessarily mean there wasn't one because I wasn't watching them as they were walking.
My familiar started to fly across the river at the Gnoll stronghold and then disappeared into the rocks north of the bridge. Thought no big deal, he can fly. Tried to enter a cave. Couldn't because my familiar couldn't reach me... I did not like this idea of leaving my familiar outside to be eaten so reloaded. Halfway through, my familiar decided to fly directly through a wall and spawned all the Gnolls in the fortress in one fell swoop. I clicked on the pesky fairy dragon before he left the screen and he became stuck on the top of the tower. The Gnolls enmasse engaged a hapless Minsc, who died trying to protect Neera who decided to help by casting a sleep spell that resulted in an explosion centred on caster... This killed the Gnolls, but had the unfortunate side effect of also killing Imoen, Branwen and myself... My fairy dragon was quite oblivious sitting on top of the tower looking at the carnage...
After reloading...
I put my familiar in my pack...
...
As per @tressest theory there is a banter here between Minsc, Khalid, jaheria before the bridge. Edwin has a banter with hairtooth at the end of the bridge... Both pretty funny dialogues. But as I have seen them before... I didn't have those NPCs with me.
As long as you can select the individual by clicking on it, all you have to do is press Ctrl+J and that party member will be teleported to the mouse cursor, wherever that happens to be.
I will merge you soon, Samus XD
I will give you an invitation to the BGEE/BG2EE beta test.
Time is of the essence, urgent, ASAP and all of that. Post your solution here! Deadline is this Friday.I must be able to reproduce this using the current production build according to your instructions for your entry to count. Note that participation in the beta test is contingent upon signing an NDA.
