This is unfortunately rather hard to fix since the operation (as sent to
the server) is not atomic.  The client (in citydlg_common) changes the
build target, and changes the worklist.  Then it sends the new build
target and the new worklist.  The build-target change fails but the
worklist change succeeds.

To solve this the client needs to detect the error itself.  This may
mean moving some code from cityhand/cityturn.c into common/city.c.
