I think this is related to 0006903, mildly scared dwarves constantly leap to their deaths.

I can second that this occurs. I dug a moat too.

What I've seen of this is wagons behaving normally (or they're just blocked by trees, who knows) while the mule or donkeyback portions of the caravan go for a swim. In a natural river next to a bridge, in my case, but this seems to be the same thing.

Outpost liason exhibits the same behavior.

I had a savepoint right before a liason went for a swim - upon closer inspection, he was running in fear from a vulture flying overhead when he jumped into the water. A second time around from that same save, he pathed differently and avoided the river. The same vulture then scared him all over the map for about five minutes (several separate sequential cases of losing his mind and running, then regaining control and trying to path off the map) before he finally made it to the edge of the map.

On my save there was no running in fear, they simply pathed directly through the water. It's fairly easy to replicate and I may do it later - you just don't give the caravan an alternate path. In my save the moat was only a single tile across, and that may be part of it.
