Your answer is in the NEXT sentence of rule 18.42 ...
"The charging unit must take the shortest route (in MF)
to the enemy unit."

And I'll stop here. This is a poor venue for effective
rules debates. :-)

Enjoy your SL gaming ... but try to remember that berserk
units are (essentially) NOT IN YOUR CONTROL. They'll
do what they will do while you are given the option to
control your OTHER units to try to take advantage of the
unplanned event.
