If someone on a narrow bike path with limited visibility decided to get off and walk their bike down the middle of the path, would they not be the problem when people riding their bikes come along and are unable to go around?

You're mixing things here. They would not be in the wrong for walking their bike or otherwise traveling a section of limited visibility slowly and with caution. You never know what could be around the corner! In your scenario, they are in the wrong for traveling down the middle and not sticking to the correct side for their jurisdiction.

What if there is fine visibility and no observable reason to be walking your bike?

If it's a path that also allows pedestrian use then there's still no issue. If it's truly for cycling only the yeah it's a problem and it's incumbent on that person to get out the way, preferably to a sidewalk.
