Yeah, I think I'm having similar issues, Bob, but I usually don't catch it.  There are things I'm sure I've done but they just aren't happening. [8|]
 
Gotta run out with my son.  Didn't have a chance to do anything other than run the replay.

The worst examples are ones where you make the orders... save the turn... exit the game... then open the game immediately to find the orders changed. Change them back and the same thing happens again. This takes some serious finagling to get around. Sometimes, you CAN'T get around it (which has serious consequences for the unit involved).

The sneaky ones are really bad, though - where the lead unit in a "follow me" land stack unexpectedly alters its destination for no apparent reason (and to some stupid location) the turn before it is actually is going to move (after a month of marching in the same hex)... i just caught another one of these in China last turn, but usually it takes about an extra hour of checking things after i've sent a turn to discover it.

i found a few more things after i sent the turn, but didn't discover the most aggravating one (unfortunately for me, but good for you i am guessing... [:'(])

I was having a little trouble with my ships in the DEI early in the game.  If you will recall the Dutch light cruisers decided to do their own thing one turn (and got sunk).  However, since then I've been not having any real issues....*knocks on wood*.

Bob, I had a problem this turn where I couldn't move a unit at all.  Of course it was in China. [8|]  It just refused to take a move order.  I rebooted and still no luck.  Maybe next turn.

Hmmmm... could it be the one at 50,40?? If so, i think there might be a reason...

EDIT: Whatever the unit is, check the Equipment roster carefully... sometimes "immovable" equipment gets attached (as i have also discovered... even if it isn't on the ingame Unit TOE list... apparently the only way to really tell is to look at it in the Game Editor.

Not sure where 50,40 is but I don't think that's it. It was an engineer regiment up north. I'll have to check it more closely tonight.
