Meat gathering bug after season one patch

Age of Empires IV IV - Report a Bug
1
  1. Villager picks up meat from deer or boar
  2. After picking up more than 11 meat,
  3. If they change target to sheep, (by order or depletion)
  4. Immediately, meat they carry goes down to 10
  5. Villager ‘picks up’ from sheep, forever.
  6. Force return the meat will get them free, but the excess amount is still lost.

Hunting capacity patch went seriously wrong…

does it mean villager continues to gather from sheep normally or what?

They “pick up” but never return any meat until I order them to return.

So just a couple of minutes ago I finished a game where I detected this bug at the start. Basically, when my food workers depleted a deer carcass and moved into a sheep carcass nearby they stood on the sheep infinitely until I manually assigned them. I did notice sooner that I was missing resources but couldn’t understand why until I saw this. I don’t know what to say…
In the video, you can see the food court from the villager dropping from 13 to 10 when moving to sheep. The bug was most likely introduced in the last patch, with the increase of wild animal’s villager food store (deers and boars) from 10 to 25 (something like this)
