 Well here's my alternative solution: allow models to move through but not finish their movement in the 'half squares' created by the diagonal walls. Basically treat the 'half squares' like a square occupied by a friendly model. This means models can zig-zag their way along diagonally corridors.

A: Incorrect Movement! the Dwarf cannot finish his movement in the 'half square' created by the diagonal wall
B: Correct Movement! the Elf has moved through the 'half square' and finished his movement in an empty square

This is exactly what I used for the Sewers questbook, except for the not allowing them to stop in half a wall, but that is actually a very good idea. I'm going to use this!
That way, it's basically still moving in straight lines, and not diagonally, so it can't be abused.
