It seems that all of the solutions to this have interesting game
consequences! For now, I've taken the easy way out, and just allowed
stacking of characters where characters appear (this would apply to
teleport destinations as well), but no movement onto occupied cells.
Thus, it is quite easy for one or more characters to block passages, etc.

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
