True, but at the time, my game was set up so that one *could* build
stuff on water cells (and those units would not instantly vanish or
wreck). This was so that, although most units cannot cross bodies of
water on their own, many could build simple boats to carry them across.
I think that this means that there are, in fact, two or more bugs at
work here.
