This definitely happens! Mostly it's from the NPC taking a corner a little too quickly when there's obstacles around. I've added data to the resulting path so that the NPC can know how far each path step is from an obstacle so that it can slow itself down first.
Like you said, it adds a lot to the fun so I'm only trying to smooth out those cases that look stupid.
