I had this problem since I started playing this update (1.14.1+). I thougth that it was a problem with villagers wandering too far and other villagers claiming their workstation because i had only 3 composters in a village but more than 6 farmer villagers.
It seems I was mistaken, because today, playing 1.14.2 as I was making a trading hall, I encountered several problems:
1-Villager claiming a workstation far away in my basement
2-As seen in the picture, a second villager claiming the same workstation having another avaiable.
EDIT: Also when moving a leveled up villager to another place, even giving him the proper workstation he sometimes doesn´t claim it, even destroying the workstation and placing it again seems to do this. I think he may be trying to claim a workstation from other profession rendering him unable to restock or work.

Having the same problem here. Using the "/data get entity [tab] Brain command" I found out that two villagers are using the same workstations even though one of them has an available workstation right next to him. When I tested it in another creative world, the villager's behaviour appeared to be normal and they did not take the same work station like they did in my survival server. Really weird bug and I hope it gets fixed soon.

I’m having the same issue where one villager claims another when it grows to be an adult, and then I have to find out which to break and replace which is a pain! This only started happening to me today and used to work fine.
