In DnD terms, charging into threatened area doesn't provoke AoO.
Charging trough or out of threatened area does. So Furnace would have been able to take a AoO against Carver, but he's not hostile so the option is usually skipped. Now what the bandit did:
As a move action (at half movement speed) you can move trough threatened space. Moving trough a hostile characters space ads 5 to the roll.
If you fail you still move but provoke.

So what the bandit did was legit, he'd just have to make two tough acrobatics rolls. (one to make the jump, one against Carver's maneuver defence + 5). If he'd failed the first he'd fallen on his face, if he'd failed the second he'd gotten a stab up de hurtybits.

Yes, but most DnD rules are up to the DM's discretion, it's how I run things and, according to DnD, adjusting the rules to fit your play style is legitimate. So how I did things was just as legit, but either way you make a good point and I did do an acrobatics check for both but considered the fact that he was able to even make a check to be because of AoO
