It would allow him to 'wait him out'. I would guess it could be equally 
annoying for both parties. Joe would not be able to leave, if he did, Bob
would be able to follow (assuming for all posibilitys sake that you are 
able to change direction while passing through other people).

This would also allow for some variant 'quantum character tunneling
effect', which would allow characters to 'tunnel' through a long row
of other characters, if you don't check if its possible (by movement
points, tile availability and the like) for Bob to go trhough A, J and M
before you allow him.
