This is something of an oddity:
I _had_ a city building a given Wonder. I was about 20 turns in with about 12 turns to completion (with several Saves along the way) when another civilization beat me to it. So I went back to a Save from 20 turns earlier and reassigned that city to build a different Wonder. HOWEVER, 20 turns along when it is announced that the other civilization completed the original Wonder, I also get the message that "City XYZ can no longer continue building that original Wonder" (the one that I had dropped by going back and switching to a different Wonder) and that the accumulated construction was being converted to an amount of gold. As far as I can tell, my Treasury IS increased by that amount of money.

I find it surprising that the AI is "seeing" a Save that no longer applies to the current timeline in play.

Could you please post a save from before this occurs? Thanks!
 
If you had any turns toward the original wonder it will be converted to production. Even if you've switched because it remembers what you've put work into and saves it in case you want to restart later.

If that happened it's not a bug but reasonable. If, however, you had done no work at all on it and switched before you ever started it may be a bug. I think it's more reasonable to assume that you had a couple of turns on it though and that's what the game "remembered". Confused me too at first until I looked into it.
