Why do some building yields not appear in UI

When adding +1 culture to shrines (example: for the opening policy Piety) the game does give you +1 culture from shrines but the +1 culture does not appear when hovering over the building. However some things do show up. I added 20% science to Oxford university for another policy in rationalism, and that works and does appear as an extra 20% science when hovering over the building.

Does anyone know why some yields show up and some don't?
 
Actually I have done some digging, and I think I found the answer for anyone else interested. It looks like it's just the way firaxis coded the culture changes in the policy table. They wanted culture to be given to the city in which a building was built but not to appear on the building itself, so it is a hidden value for culture, but other yields show up just fine.
 
Update, I just played the base game and the +1 faith from the policy 'Organised religion' doesn't even show up when hovering over the building (after adopting the policy).

Seems like firaxis just didn't bother to fix small things like that when adding Piety to the game
 
Faith was added in Gods & Kings, and Culture was "redrafted" in how it was applied to buildings. Neither of these was 100% implemented or re-jiggered (in the case of Culture) to show in the mouse tips and the city view everywhere.
