To let my wandering unit cross a strange continent I made a deal with the Russians, 3 Iron for Open Borders...20 turns. When this deal ended the I received the expected notice of the deal's end. Then each subsequent turn I would again get notice of the end of the deal.

Not a big deal, just another thing to right click to get off the screen...but indicative of sloppy programming.
 
Having an excess of horses, I set up several trades to offload them in exchange for gold. At a certain point after several of the deals expired, I started getting the expiration message every turn, but didn't really think anything of it once I ascertained that there weren't any deals in place any longer.

Several turns later, however, I noticed that I had 100 horses, did some quick math, and realized that that was definitely not possible. I guessed what was going on, and ended the turn again - lo and behold, I had another ~14 horses, the amount which I had previously been trading. Essentially, then, what seems to be going on is that the game for some reason thinks that the deal is ending every turn and credits me back the horses. Note, however, that it did not seem to be subtracting from my treasury in any sort of reciprocal manner based on the original deal.
 
I've had this occur with peace treaties as well. Of course, that's better than having them never end which I've also experienced. Hope that one is fixed in the next patch.
