That's (second edition of Arralen's post) exactly what I meant, if I hadn't been so lazy, and it will happen all the time, with both mundane and magical movement.

In other words, the game does not check the path of your troops once it has been given: if you could give it when you played your turn, it will be valid no matter what (unless your troops got killed), and that can result in odd situations, like those tropps somehow sneaking by a VQ.
