Any other Brundle-esque teleporter accidents in movies?

Yes, forget the title but it was when they had taken some shipwrecked Klingons on board. I never bought that. Intraship beaming would be much less risky than ship-to-surface beaming – the ship’s computer knows where all the bulkheads are.

Unless it’s one of those too-close-to-focus-properly things.

H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond

Interdimensional leakage, a campy and horrifying telepenetration story.
7 tenebrous, eldritch, tentacles out of 10.

Yeah, but you’d think that Starfleet Engineers, renowned for their ability to “turn rocks into replicators” could develop a macro lens for the tranpsorters.

They did, but early on in the Federation’s history they were plagued with technical problems related to the petrolithium jelly coating on them.

Well, if tv shows count, there’s the first episode of the new season of VVenture Brothers.

Except they eventually did; intra-ship beaming was easy by Picard’s time. It just never became routine because it’s a needless waste of power; virtually the only time anyone ever intra-ship beams on Picard’s Enterprise is when they’re a breath from death, and even then it’s uncommon (presumably because transport is a mild stress on the system not advised for the critically ill).

Well, OK, that’s fair enough. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure that Starfleet engineers were particularly renowned outside of Starfleet before the Picard era.
