This is an intentional "feature", although I'm not sure whether it is
the correct thing to do, or not.  In vanilla freeciv+patch you are
unable to put workers on those non-coastal ocean tiles.  In SMAC, and
hence freecivAC, you can have water bases (i.e. cities in the oceans) so
those tiles could be in your territory and therefore useable.
