AI movement should (must) all occur in the same place.  Other AI actions 
(like purchasing) may be done elsewhere, but I'm not sure this will 
solve all possible problems (I can imagine there might be a whole class 
of problems similar to the purchase-of-defenders one).

One thing that would solve the problems is if AI end-of-turn activities 
(like production) were done at the end of the AI turn, and human 
end-of-turn activities at the end of the human turn.  This would 
generalize well into an alternating-turn Freeciv.  But even then the AI 
should be able to make non-movement actions at any time.
