I will not argue whether this is a good feature or not, but this effect is
apparently quite intentional from the way it is coded. You do not get an
irrigation on the tile where you found the city, you get an irrigation
bonus _as if_ you had irrigation there.

From the way I remember it from Civ2, this was different, because when you
destroyed cities, I think they left behind patches of irrigation.
