Now that you mention this, I think I have seen this as well. If the
enemy existed anywhere on the path but the destination cell, I would
expect it to appear as a blockage (though "no room" is probably not the
best diagnostic). However, I would agree that an enemy unit should be
allowed in the destination cell, and that, if detected there, a move-to
(with nearness set to 1, or 'fire-range'/'attack-range' if we want to be
smarter) should be set.

I would worry about accidental clicks triggering this automatic
behavior, though I agree that it would be quite nice and fluid to set
the overrun and then push the abovementioned move-to ahead of it.
