@Ernest: I am not sure if the solution you have provided will work in every case. Here's my take on it.

Take a look at the planner_frequency parameter at http://www.ros.org/wiki/move_base. I believe your navigation instance is not re-planning as the local_planner is not giving up control despite the obstacle.

On a differential drive robot, it can sometimes get difficult to balance the path and goal bias parameters to produce good behavior in all cases (in this particular instance you have found a solution by tweaking these parameters). An easier solution is to set planner_frequency to something other than 0, which forces replanning giving the local_planner a plan with a better chance of success.
