It's not a bug.
I'll give you a rundown, although it might not be that accurate, givin my memory.
Basically, Dwarves take over a tower or other Goblin site in world gen.
Now, since Dwarves don't promote slavery, they just let the guys go (Either that or kill 'em).
Some of them decide to stick around, so now there are Goblins in your population.
Eventually, one of 'em becomes king.
At least, that's how I remember it.
Probably not too accurate.

Either that or what they said.

Or anyone with a lot of friends, really.
Make sure to leave the corpses around, Miasma and all that.

What if they chuck a sandbag in, huh?
No, wait, that didn't work...

trying to do this with giant sponges (wounded) results may vary...

Everyone will die.
Don't you know those things are lethal?

g is obvious.

Goats?

Gorlacks.
Those waddling heads that screw around with levers.

Minecart machine-gun?  I like this idea.
I'm excited for the computing possibilities minecarts raise.  If they trigger pressure plates, that is.

If I read right, that is a yes.
They will Trigger Plates.

Perhaps we could make a Minecart Gatling Gun of sorts.
Alright, Imagine this circuit, but bigger:
C-=+C
+...-
=...=
-...+
C+=-C==== gWhere C is a corner, = is stright rail, + is a booster, - is a stopper, and g is a Goblin.
You could get a number of carts going around this loop, and with the boosters, they would keep circuiting, but with the slowers, they wouldn't fly off corners.
Now turn off the slower near the corner leading towards the track towards the goblin, and the carts should fly onto that track, and subsequently into the goblin.

So my thread in Suggestions about Weaponized Minecarts may stand a chance!
YES! YES!
