Now I see they are not completely standing still. They are moving a bit, but this don't seem to be significant.

In "Dead/Missing" tab there is "Missing" Wagon. Maybe that's the case?

After a year merchants are stressed or distracted. One is even haggard and is Stumbling obliviously! However, they are still not leaving my fortress

This has happened before, but I'm not aware of what causes it, nor, unfortunately, how to solve it (although murdering everyone probably works). Usually all the merchants either leave when a unit scuttles its goods (you should have a pile of things lying on the ground together with "wagon wood" somewhere along the path to the trade depot).

Just reporting something odd is rarely helpful, however, as a save is usually needed to analyze what's happened (which may not be sufficient either). Saves are typically uploaded to DFFD, http://dffd.bay12games.com/submit.php. A "save" is a <DF>\data\save\regionX folder (where X is a number) containing all the info for that world.

Edit: And you can use the edit option on a previous comment rather than producing a string on comments to save on space.
