You missed my point entirely, but to counter your disagreement with everything I just said, add to my examples that the party is moving down the hallway with a monster chasing them.

Not so. The switch is six hexes north of the halfling. The ogre is three hexes north and one hex west of the halfling.
It's the beginning of combat. Halfling has initiative. Halfling makes it all the way past ogre, who has combat reflexes. It's not the ogre's turn, so he doesn't get to react.

No, it isn't. It's taking the Do Nothing maneuver. It's the start of combat.
Defensive back took Wait ('till ball is snapped). His turn, he runs around the end and sacks the QB.
