Villager pathing: 0:17 walk to far wood (tc gather point) but middway decide to turn back to tc straggler (entirely on their own as if controlled by another player!)

We can see 2 vils decide to walk back to a straggler on their own, after taking a pause.

This was a ranked game so i had to manually go and select them as they were about to reach the straggler, and manually task them to the wood where the original tc gather point is.

I have attached REC and VIDEO (second 0:17) .

Pathing seems to believe it has to calculate what tree to go to, but midway thru (instead of upon arrival!), hence randomly going to the equidistant from middle point straggler tree!
