[v3.0.2] [91c1] Custom AI Empires cannot be lithovores

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
In the empire select screen before starting a game, If I make a lithoid terravore hivemind empire, then I go into any other empire to tinker/edit/play as, the lithoid terravore empire reverts to a lithoid devouring swarm, losing the special trait. This makes it impossible to play against an AI terravore for me. It is also possible to go back to the first empire and start the game as a lithoid devouring swarm, losing access to the terravore features like consume planet. This also means that if I do want to play a lithoid terravore playthrough, I have to go back in and edit the empire each time.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
1. Create Lithoid Hivemind empire, select terravore trait.
2. Back out to empire select menu. If you check at this point, the lithoid empire will still say terravore.
3. Select any other empire, edit any civics, save.
4. Back out to empire select menu, check lithoid empire. it is now a devouring swarm, no longer terravore.
5. (Optional) Start game as unintendedly now possible lithoid devouring swarm empire. I use this to check and confirm it's not just a display bug, the lithoid empire can now no longer devour planets. NOTE: Sometimes in game your government will still display the terravore civic. However, the lithoid "consume world" decision will still be unavailable. It seems as if there's some conflation or disagreement between what is displayed and what is actually available with this civic.

It won't let me edit the post, but I went ahead and did a playthrough with my custom lithoid empire as a guaranteed spawning ai. Sure enough, 100 years into the game he's still a devouring swarm and cannot/hasn't consumed a single world. Screenshot attached.
