Do you have 'always build previously built unit' checked in the options?

In this particular game, it was set to build Defensive Often, Workers never,
and wealth often. It would never build defensive units, it would switch
cities between workers and wealth. If I go through every city, and make
sure none are building workers, on the next turn you can expect about about
10% of cities to be building workers. Later in the game, I told it to start
building offensive units, air units and artillery. It then stopped building
workers, and even started to build defensive units.

Weird huh?

Thanks
