Bug / Gameplay - If starting on a resource, you are doomed and can't build first city

I started a new game and happened to have my SOV start on a gold mine resource.  As I moved around, I could not build my first city anywhere!  It told me that I had to build on an empty tile.  I was doomed that game, as I could not build my first city.  I think this is a bug resulting if your SOV happens to begin on a non-empty tile.

Anyone else experience this?

I reported a bug where if you started on a taken tile the button would remain greyed out, but once you moved to an open tile you could still click it and found your empire, even though it remained greyed out. This was before 3C, so maybe the fix they tried broke it more. Did you try actually clicking it?
