Private sector gets stuck *about* to build farming domes[v1.21d]

I have run into a fascinating bug with the private sector building AI. I created a new town to the north of my capital in a game set on an earth-like planet. I created the town from a farming asset that I created, the open-farming type of asset, which means that said asset is on the town square. I had some starvation when the town was built and turned on emergency food for a while.
Now the curious thing is that the private sector build AI is now stuck. It is trying to build a farming dome community, in spite of the fact this type of building is not needed given the local climate. It then fails to build the actual building, likely because it competes with the regular farming building on the square they are on. It turns out however that if I build a government farming done somewhere in the zone, they immediately switch to building a open-air farming community instead and I suspect that is the end of the problem.
