I havan't bothered to have my workers on automated duties. They will tend to build trading posts where you want farms and vice versa. They may also chop down forests, jungles, etc.

It's a bit micro-managey, but I would recommend giving orders manually to your workers. When there's nothing to do, I just make them sleep until I need them for something.
The exact same thing happened to me. I wonder where the hell a unit went, and a few turns later he shows up in the middle of the ocean... That aside, I am not going to complain that they released it without it being ready.
