0008292: Dwarves won't haul cage with magma man inside
Cage with a magma man inside is impassable both inside of a cage trap and not, causing them to not even attempt to haul it (or dump it if so marked)
1: Trap a magma man in a cage
2: Try to do literally anything hauling related to it, such as dumping or hauling to a stockpile
Caught a magma man in an avocado wood cage and after a while in game, I noticed that it wasn't being hauled away by my dwarves, nor were they resetting the cage trap into which it had fallen, so now it's just sitting there. Disassembling the trap causes the item to drop, but the cage is impassable, and they still won't haul it, even though they walk around and haul away the mechanism that was part of the trap. Trying to build a cage trap under the now dropped cage leads to 'no access to mechanisms' The cage was in a bottleneck between two natural rough stone walls, if that helps. The cage is still immovable when the save is loaded into 0.40.12.

I'm going to guess that this is because of temperature, they won't touch it simply because it's too hot.

Does turning off temperature do anything?

Turning off the temperature had no effect, and with a bit more testing, it appears that even if the cage is destroyed, the tile under where it was captured remains impassable, even with literally nothing on it besides floor fungus (not even with the adjacent tiles removed).
