The farmer will not plant carrot onto nearby exposed farmland (even if he had carrots in inventory). The village is auto-generated, feature 4 (one killed by zombie yesterday) villagers and more than 4 (6?) beds in a fairly stretched out formation.
The seed is 67. The village is the closest (0,?,0) one related to spawn.
The gathering point is roughly 7 block away from the farm.
The only work site is a stone cutter and (in picture) composter. Rest of villagers are unemployed.
Also, seems like the carrots traded in to him is not added to his inventory.

Edit:
The villager will only plant carrots onto nearby farmland only when picked up carrots I dropped to him. Even though he gathers more than one carrot from a fully grown crop he still planted only once.

mobGriefing is of course set to true. That's why they DO tend crops but they do it extremely sluggishly (e.g. check for farmland around them once every minute instead of once every ... say, 5 second). They will also leave carrots floating around, only to pick them up later.

I believe it's an issue. It might not be a important issue but I believe they are doing it a bit too slowly. Although, eventually the farmer is able to fill the field with carrot crops after about 15 in game days.
