I used Malign Gateway, and then moved away from the live tentacle and went downstairs and received this message:
 You climb downwards.

I can confirm that this bug still exists in 0.22-a0. It should be regarded as a major bug, since once this pathing failure triggers, the eldritch tentacle is destroyed hence rendering that cast of malign gateway useless -- this is a relevant nerf to Malign Gateway in its current state.
