This is the e-mail address for the bug reporting system.  All e-mails 
that have a PR# in the subject line are from RT.  It's forwarded through 
freeciv-dev.

Yep.

 From help->government->republic:

Under the Republic, military units require 1 production shield each
for upkeep.  In addition the following units are considered
aggressive units:

- units with an attack strength greater than 0 which are not inside
a city or inside a fortress within 3 squares of a friendly city

- air units (including missiles and helicopters, but not fighters)
with an attack strength greater than 0, regardless of their location

The citizens of a city will tolerate 1 aggressive unit; subsequent
units will generate 1 unhappy citizen each.

I suspect the penalties come from civ2.  You can compare the 
data/default ruleset to data/civ1 and data/civ2.
