This issue stems from wrong values for the “Help String ID” in widgetui/civTechTrees.json for those units.

In the data file, those units have the same wrong values in their LanguageDLLHelp fields. Except for Villager, Bombard Tower, and Trade Cart, the “Help String ID” should always be the “Name String ID” + 100,000.

This can be easily fixed by putting the correct values in widgetui/civTechTrees.json.
