It appears this has nothing to do with AI.

Load the attached savegame; connect as jshort and jshort2.  Then move 
the Irish horsemen northeast.  Now in the Vietnamese city the tiles with 
Irish units will still be marked as unavailable.  If you move the Irish 
units the citymap will be updated properly.  But if you go straight to 
the next turn the sanity check warning will be triggered.
