I've searched the bugs here, but didn't find this one, so I thought I should report it.
OK, the map is africa04n (big ship on the ground). It seems on of the aliens "got stuck" inside some object (see picture). This was in the front left side of the ship, level 1.

i have seen the same thing on the same map. Only it was on the green thing (generator, engine, fuel?) next to the one in smalul's jpg. i would upload my jpg too, but it doesn't seem worth starting a new bug.

OK, I played another map, with a crashed ship - falcon_crash04d, and I think a saw something related to this bug. It seems you can see that equipment (I'm guessing they are reactors) in the third person view (or remote camera mode), but it can't be seen in the first person camera mode. I'm adding two pictures I took, to show you this problem.
I think this is related to the original bug, because it's the same equipment, and if the game "thinks" there is nothing there, he can spawn aliens in that location, which cause the original problem.

mattn, i'm passing this on to you - in current trunk, africa map, actors still can enter these entities.
both of them have actorclips, both actorclips seem to be well aligned to the grid.
actorclips are visible in-game with r_drawspecialbrushes.
