Civ 5 - Aqueduct not saving food

My capital Rome has had an aqueduct fully built for 6 turns. I then grow the population by 1, from pop 6 to pop 7. I then mouse over the food data and see that my food stored is only 1/115. It was supposed to save 40% of 99. I'm supposed to have 39.6 saved, plus 1 gained for a total of 40.6. But I have only 1 food.

I read about this similar bug reported back in 2011, but the guy reporting it had only just built the aqueduct the same turn as the pop growth. I, though, have had the aqueduct built for a few turns already before growing the pop, and still no food was saved.

Any word on this bug? Thanks.

PS... Or is it that the aqueduct ignores food that was stored before it was built and starts saving after the food drops to zero for a complete storage cycle?

Essentially, On your first pop after the aqu is completed, it carries over the food that was harvested starting from the turn the aqu was completed, up to the limit of 40% of the food needed to the next pop.

I'll just leave this up in case anyone else is confused by this.
