Abilities Enhancing Skills is a RAW option. Optional, but still a RAW option ;) The whole point of the option is to allow abilities to give a small bonus to something logically related to their field that they don't normally give bonuses to - one of the examples being Flight and Acrobatics.

But, as noted, it requires an IQ roll to pull off - it's not automatic because it isn't part of the standard use of the ability. And octopi just aren't that smart.
