Was it a province, or a neighbor? If province, then no, but neighbor yes.
Also, the Jaegers having the problem, was it a rogue turned jaeger? I found a bug with the rogue not taking on the abilities of a Jaeger if the rogue was in the forest when it transformed, but it does if the rogue turns into a Jaeger, and then moves into a forest. Odd stuff, but that one is confirmed, could it be the same as this?
