I noticed this issue last night. I was starting a new village and had my boys in boats while I cycled their trades. Beds were placed but not reachable. I've had to break every single job block nearby barrel We had a max level potato farmer turn into a librarian who sold bookshelves. We've name tagged a few now with thematic names to track them to try and see what changes. Luckily my mending vendor Mindy seems satisfied with his trade.
Our current working theory is they actually need to be able to reach their bed and work station. Even locked traders and their stations are occasionally sending up angry smoke poofs and i think this is where it's happening. Will try testing more.
Update: So what seems to be happening is when new villagers grow up they are stealing Job blocks assigned to prior villagers who then latch onto whatever job block gets put down after the fact. We seem to have prevented it in most cases by leveling ro at least tier 2 and naming our villagers.
