That's somewhat frustrating. It would make more sense if structure generation were consistent. Why should villages get automatically added when mineshafts or strongholds or dungeons don't?
Does quitting the world and then reopening it temporarily solve the issue?
Could you upload a picture of the clock and setup that you are using? I was unable to replicate the problem.
Glad to see that other people share the same frustration with this issue. Much like the command of the execute/detect runs relative to the player, so should the detect.
-Say for example you want fire particles to appear on a player when they stand on glowstone. If the player is in the nether (and no one is in the overworld), you could put the execute/detect on a clock in spawn chunks and have another setup to throw items through a portal to keep the spawn chunks loaded (not ideal, but its what we've got). This is the only way to make sure the execute/detect command is running at all times. Assuming the detect is fixed to run in the same dimension as the player, this should work across all dimensions.
-Another solution, as mentioned above, would be to only allow commands (possibly except scoreboard commands) to affect players in the dimension from which they were run. This would also bring about the need for chunks that are always loaded in every dimension to make the above setup work (essentially have spawn-like chunks in each dimension).
-My ideal solution would involve command blocks from one dimension working across all dimensions, fixed so that thinks like execute/detect run within the same dimension without dimensional cross-talk (the issue at hand). To make things dimension-specific, target selector arguments could be added to specify dimension(s) to run the command in, also ridding the need of spawn-like chunks in each dimension from the second solution above. (Still requires some sort of kludgy item-through-nether portal apparatus to keep overworld spawn chunks loaded).
-An outlandish, but awesome solution would be to add a dimension only accessible in creative where chunks are always loaded. This would allow for devices like this to be built by map makers to implement custom features. With the addition of dimensional arguments in target selectors, this would allow for lots of possibilities.
