Nah, you can sometimes channel through movement.

I've been running and stopped, and suddenly cast a spell, and then gotten the "regain concentration and continue casting" message even though I wasn't being attacked by anything... leaving movement the only thing that could have channeled through.

It doesn't happen often, but happens a lot more than a one-in-a-thousand thing too, at least with level 60 channeling skill.


Besides. You would literally never be able to channel through melee damage (unless you were perfectly backed into a corner) if it were impossible to channel through movement, since any melee hit causes a small amount of push (I think).
My theory about the first phenomenon you mentioned is that it's because of client/sever lag or something; some part of EQ thinks you stopped moving while some part thinks you didn't.

You're right though, melee damage causes very small amounts of push which can be channeled through.
