Comment (by sluicebox):

 Thanks for reporting, this and the SQ6 entrance bay are indeed the two
 worst symptoms of pathfinding algorithm differences that we can't easily
 fix without replacing the entire algorithm. Sierra patented their
 algorithm, which is why we're in this situation. We can do it now, but
 it's much harder to do it this late in the game instead of the beginning.
 I have a plan though, maybe someday.

 We already have an open ticket for the brain pathfinding issues: #9589, is
 this any different?
