That's not a bug, that's just how it works so that you can
easily get help on the techs in the Change and Goal menus.
There was a patch around to have separate help menus 
corresponding to the Change and Goal menus, instead of 
the infamous help toggle.

Set your research Goal to something further along and it will 
follow the path to that.

Note that if you start the server with "--debug 2", it will tell 
you the adjusted combat strengths for each combat, which can be 
helpful for working out what is going on.

Yes, it would be nice if freeciv remembered both names.
