I've heard people talk about at least two:
(1) The cow glitch - I think this is where the only food resource for your initial city (if settled in place) would be a plains cow.
(2) The forest spam - I've seen people say that if your BFC is covered in trees, that's also a map script error.
Are these generally considered to be "errors"? On what basis? Are there others?
I tend to play whatever map is generated and hardly ever regenerate, but I might reconsider that policy if there are some actual glitches or errors in the map scripts that generate starts the game developers didn't intend for you to have to deal with.
(Also, keep in mind that I usually play Emperor-Marathon games, which no doubt makes it easier to recover from a poor initial city site.)
