I agreed to go to war in ten turns vs the same civ four times over a three-turn span. All of them declared war on that civ. None asked me to deliver 10 turns later.
 
At this point I have agreed to DoW Polynesia in ten turns with at least one civ. I played through eleven more turns, but was never asked to go to war. Note: this is a hotseat game.
 
I've encountered the same bug, but I think I can add more information.

(I play hotseat by myself, so no transfering save files to other computers)

I think this bug may have to do with the number of human players in hotseat mode. In one game, there were 4 human players and 18 AI players, and after I agreed to declare war in ten turns, the AI never asked me to fulfill my promise.

In another game there were 10 human players and 12 AI players. After I as player1 agreed to declare war in ten turns, I was asked to fulfill my promise on the next turn of player1. It's as though playing other human players' turns count towards the DoW in 10.

I think the reason that the AI did not ask me to fulfill my promise to DoWin10 in the game with 4 human players is because 4 is not a multiple of 10.

In the same game with 10 human players, I've seen an AI declare war on me, and ask for peace the next turn.

I've also encountered games where the AI asks way too often for a DoF.

Like I've said, I'm not sure if this happens only when playing as different human palyers on the same computer, but I suspect that the root of the problem is with the number of human players in the game, and a bunch of diplomatic agreements are affected by it.
 
I've had it in single player games a few times that the AI did come back to me, although I don't think there's a bug there.
Once Japan asked me to go to war against Askia, I asked for 10 turns, but in that time Askia declared on me. Luckily Oda did not ask me to declare, I would not have been able to declare on Askia, as this war was already happening.
I think if one of the partners that agreed to a declaration of war against a mutual enemy is already at war with the same enemy after 10 turns, the reminder does not happen, and quite rightly so.

I think I also have once not been reminded without any party already at war, but I didn't think too much of it. Maybe changed circumstances.

But if it constantly is happening in hotseat, yes, maybe there's something not working there.
