I assigned two villagers as fisherman and farmer, and traded with them to level up and 'lock in' their professions. Despite their rank they later changed to leatherworkers and will not revert, even when all cauldrons in the village are removed and barrels/composters are available.
Notably there are a disproportionate number of novice leatherworkers in the village as a whole.

The villagers were not novices when they changed to leatherworkers, which is why I reported it as a bug. They are now 'stuck' as leatherworkers but did not 'stick' to fisherman and farmer at the same level. Everything I can find states that trading/leveling up will lock their profession, but this did not happen.

A novice level villager (one who has only its first tier trades unlocked) can claim any job site block and will change its profession along with acquiring a new job. Villagers above the novice level can only claim a job site block associated with their profession. It means that the villagers are stuck as leatherworkers.
