AI cities that become new capital, after they lose their original capital, cannot be razed. This is clearly a bug, as the civilopedia says under the entry <Current Capitals vs. Original Capitals> "If your original capital has been captured, another of your cities will automatically be assigned as a replacement capital. Your Headquarters will be transferred automatically and this city functions in all ways like the original, except that it can be destroyed". Also you could destroy new capital cities in original BE.

This is not a one time thing, this has been happening with me 100% of the time since the launch of Rising Tide.
 
I've reproduced this myself. Super frustrating with the poor city placement. I've attached a save from my current game. As you can see, I just took Serik from the Slavic Federation, but the game insists it can't be razed because it was a capital.

It is really annoying as you say. I still confirm that its occurrence is 100% since Rising Tide launch.

Here is an example from one of my games playing as NSA.

I am attacking ARC's original capital "Central" and puppeting it. Right before that, I captured the city of "Axiom" and chose to raze it without problems (you can see it burning)

Their city of "Vanguard" becomes their new capital

I capture "Vanguard" but I cannot raze it

I annex the city and try to raze it from the button inside the city screen, but it's dimmed, and when I hover over it it says "Cannot Raze a city that was once a capital" (I could not get the hover text to appear in the screenshot.
