Not able to finish turn in certain circumstances (stuck on units orders)

In my current playthrough as Germany I have encountered this bug twice:
- The "remaining actions" button was showing that I have to give orders to a unit
- After clicking on the button nothing would happen, map wouldn't center on this unit, no unit would become active
- As a result I was stuck on the give orders actions, without a chance to see the finish turn button and click on it

After investigation this what I believe caused it:
1st time - while exploring a new island with my Musketeer, Aztecs settled a city on a neighbouring tile, forcing the Musketeer to be relocated outside of the borders. After I got stuck on the giving orders action, and manually clicking through all the units, I have found the offender, moved him, and finish turn appeared. Without my manual search the game wouldn't take me to it.
2nd time - after liberating Japan, they have reappeared on the map, forcing my units to relocate outside of their borders (obviously as they have just re-appeared, I didn't have open borders with them). This time going trough all the units didn't help, and I still couldn't finish the turn, so I had to reload and execute all the actions ensuring that my last move will be the one conquering the city, and there will be nothing else to do.

Both have in common the fact that my units have been forced to relocate outside of the border, and the game no longer recognized them as active units awaiting orders.
 
Also:
Upgraded units losing escort status
units combining to make corps/army.

Both of these can make the game fail to find the unit where it last saw it, so you need to manually find it.

These circumstances I have ran into in every game, sometimes multiple times. It's very frustrating trying to find the unit because I can never remember what caused the problem the last time it happened.
 
Which makes me wonder - has anyone playtested this game at all before release, because these are common situations you should have picked up in the 1st or 2nd game you play...
I'll play a couple of games more to look for more bugs, and luckily I still have around 300 hours of Witcher 3 ahead of me to kill the time waiting for patch. Hopefully Emperor will prove to be a challenge, I was destroying catapults with my modern era units this time.
 
I noticed the pathfinder is too optimistic sometimes and units get stuck stacked with other units. For example i lost my air balloon when someone an american pikemen ended his turn on the same tile as my artillery!
