Judging from the videos of wallbreakers taking extremely long routes around wall projections to get at enclosed wall squares, if you set up your maze as single lines only with no Ts you should be able to make them walk a long way. I've just set up a maze on my own base that requires a wb to walk a minimum of 24 spaces before it can encounter a target it will recognize as worth blowing. (Assuming I counted squares accurately.)
With apologies, I don't give out my Gamecenter ID or respond to PM solicitations to do base design critiques.
i see what you did. i dont understand how it would walk all that way through.
say i drop a WB right on the edge of your patch of land at the SW gold mine but still in line with the LV8 wall. i would imagine he would just walk around that row of walls to the LV9 wall directly behind the LV8 inline with where i dropped him initially.
Wow, I spent about 30 minutes coming up with this earlier. Having no experience with a maze base, it took longer to design something i thought would work. I was hoping, if succesful, this would be my clever secret. Nice to see someone so respected has a similar mindset. I'll try and upload a pic of my base to see if we're on the same page.
If I understand what you're saying, that wall shouldn't trigger him to blow. It doesn't enclose anything. Of course I haven't tested it so all caveats apply.

nvm it doesnt work as i tried to diagram it out
i guess we will have to wait and see.
Yes, he should go deeper. Neither of those maze walls enclose anything. The only walls that should trigger a detonation are those that enclose the inner core. Again, all caveats apply given that the AI fix is new.
e: doesn't apply now with the edit above.

Sorry for not embedding but this is what im trying at my base. Finally closed CoC to make myself available for attacks. I'm hoping the breaker will go through the paths in order to get to the corner of the second wall, but im not sure if it will. only time will tell.
I'm pretty sure they'll still target your corners, Hannibal; from what I've gathered, they're attracted to any segment of wall that meets the two criteria of: 1) emplacement in front of a building and 2) incorporation of any joint, not necessarily just t-junctions.
But of course, I'm just as well-versed in their preferences as everyone else, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see for a conclusive idea.
