I don't see this as a problem.  The problem occurs if AI isn't allowed to
expand at this point (i.e. never on 'hard').  So it can wastefully build
and maintain a huge army; that's better (easier to defeat) than expanding.

I suppose another fix is to build settlers like mad, but not allow sending
them to build a city if the expansion rate has been exceeded; instead, it
would start irrigating or something.

Either way, we can't really be as wasteful as coinage.
