Begin Trans:
"hisssssss, yeah, we took out a leg actuator on that mech guys and he's stuck in a level 4 hole in the ground. He ain't goin' nowhere.....move in for the kill"
"SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE, that mech just moved 3 hexes and changed 4 levels, git yer heads down, he's firi.........." End Trans
Sorry for the melodramatic moment, but what I've just described happened to me in a recent land war.
Mech's movement was 4/6. NO JUMP. Mech was in a level 4 hole facing south, surrounded by level 5's all around. Level 6's after that. Mech had a crit on the upper leg actuator. During movement, my units lost init but I figured it wouldn't matter and I moved to the edge of the hole to put the dang thing out of my misery. Imagin my surprise when the movement phase ended and the mech was 3 hexes away from his starting position standing on a level 8 hex facing north, behind me  Yeah, sucks to be me  but this is definitely a bug.

The new improved AI is very good....TOO good sometimes. There is a bug in the program where AI units will sometimes move 2 times in one round (perhaps more? only heard of 2). The AI code is under constant revision, and we are looking to sort out these bugs.

I have been working as a battleplayer twice where the movements seemed to be from an AI source and not a live operator. All of a sudden the opposing force has moved twice. Real noticable when your in a Jeep-SRM and the other guys is an APC-W1 or Savannah master unit.... 
Also, it has happened in a couple of my arenas where the attacker seme dto be there for a while working his unit around, then the whole thing slows to a crawl waiting for the timers to expire (I assumed AI) - then bam! Foot infantry moves 3 hexes; or a Jeep-LRM darts back and forth across a 10*10 arena and does a diamond shaped movement.. Just seemed strange....
