I target it:

The path is shown green (i.e., clear) but in fact it crosses a wall and when I shoot all bullets are wasted.

Very strange.  I know there are oddities with the vision, but that's one of the worst I've seen.  I can't promise fixing the vision, because changing the vision code too much can have a huge impact on game play, but certainly the targeting not recognizing that it is going through a wall is a bug that can be fixed.

Edit: Okay, so not a problem with vision... I somehow misread the image and thought it was strange, but the vision is okay.  The targeting thing is still a bug though.

Edit: Resolution: in the next version, paths that go through walls will correctly be colored red.
