The best axiomatic reasoning failures I've seen are in Thomas Aquinas' Summa contra Gentiles, e.g. 13th century natural law Christian apologism.
Don't get me wrong -- they are works of philosophical art and among my favorite texts in all of philosophy.
But they also very much abuse the space between axioms to deduce truth which seems absolute but is incomplete.
