While it does look like a programming issue, players and mapmakers are aware of 
it and often use it.

Actually, there are maps where the fact that Guard Post blocks access from 
water is used as a strategic element crucial to winning the level.

This being said, I don't think it's a good idea to fix this issue - it is one 
of these situations where player has to micro-manage the creatures.

Problem is your own creatures fall over and get stuck, which is kinda
problematic, if they die from starvation or killed by the heroes you don't
wanna see in your dungeon.

True, but how do you propose to fix that?

Shall we disallow creatures to go to a place from where they can't go back? 
That would lead to multiple further problems, ie. creature won't go for gold 
even if it's able to put it into treasury, only because it is now on higher 
ground. Or - creature won't be able to go down if you drop it on a bookcase in 
Library.

Even if we disallow pathfinding there and somehow solve the upcoming problems, 
creature still can be blown off the edge, either by a fight or a spell (ie. 
slap).

If you see any way to fix that without running into larger problems, please 
share it.
