You should not remove this. This case (should) happen only if the pathfind 
failed because another unit was in the way. In this case, direction is 8 and 
both dx and dy are zero, so the unit shoould not walk upper left but rather 
turn on itself. So removing this code could create trash in unit positions on 
map. I already had a look at this some weeks ago and went to the conclusion 
that the problem is somewhere else. But as I think it was not clean, I've 
modified and documented the code. Please have a look at Unit.cpp:1666 and 
Map.cpp:4090
