Movement around the battlefield isn't for the benefit of a PC who actively wants to move his character, it's for the movement of opponents against there will.

Until 4E, I don't think I came across a game system which did not treat combatants as set pieces of the table. A moves to B, and they stay there until either decide to leave. aka: the impassable line. Sure, I've seen rules for pushing, and knocking someone down, but not for tricking them to step to the right. So yeah - one fiddly bit of several hundred pages of new rules is something I think is worthwhile to add to BRP.
