AI gets upset by cities built before they land

[Xenotitan]

Attached is a save at turn 34 where I have a second city up. If you play it, in a turn or two Koslov will land 4 tiles away from my second city, and a few turns after that he will complain that I've settled close to him.

This has happened to me, too.

As a corollary, I've also never been entirely clear on what the AI considers 'near them', especially within the context of:

• don't perform expeditions near me
• don't settle near me
• don't buy tiles near me
• don't remove miasma near me
• don't add miasma near me

Seems like their definitions of 'near me' are pretty liberal, but there's no real way to tell what it means.
