It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but here is the
beginnings of an answer:

In 1.13.1 (at least, not tested earlier versions), every pikeman that an
AI has in its possession magically turns into a caravan type unit. To
reproduce, take a savegame where you have pikemen, and set yourself to AI
for one turn. *poof* pikemen that act as caravans generated.

This is a very bad error and very hard to find where the bug is generated.

Eg "Game: Your Pikemen from Barcelona has arrived in Tarragona, and
revenues amount to 27 in gold and research."

I am unable to reproduce this, however.
