This is NOT A BUG!
there's a solution on Reddit, you have to colonize these tiles by building a fort on it. (unlock the respective tradition).
Perhaps it was done to encourage players to unlock new traditions?
Anyway, you all are wasting time by commenting posting here, the discussion is there.
Indeed, you can work around it that way; however it is not the intended resolution of the issue.
