Where there's a freestanding altar within an apsidal sanctuary, so that one night cross from one side to the other without being too much of a distraction, isn't this what would be expected for non-ceremonial movement?
This is certainly the norm in Orthodox churches of whatever rite. It's only when space or building design constraints place the altar against the eastern wall that passing in front of it becomes an unfortunate necessity.
