When you found a city. all remining units from the founding stack are ejected to an apparently random adjacend tile.
Among other problems, this mayleave the city vulnerable to attack until you can reinforce it.
It has been always like that. Not sure why. Something related to the tile being empty to be able to build?
I have developed the habit of stoping the stack one tile away and the next turn send first the Pioneer, then found the city and finally move the rest of the stack.
I have founded something like 900 cities while playing about 175 games mostly with the founding stack bumped out of town on creation. I have yet to have anything attack the city in the turn between founding and the following turn when I move the tribe in to defend the city. It may happen, but it is so rare as to not even be a concern for me at this time. Future patches may be a whole nother matter though.
I also experienced this as OP described. After playing further, I like Vyarloq decided it wasn't an issue that a load Autosave couldna fix in a jiff.
