I have this issue as well, and it seems that along with it, new villagers are unable to claim job blocks. I have tested this multiple times in my existing world along with new creative worlds, placing new job blocks by a villager that I know is unemployed, but no matter how long I wait or how many times I break and replace it the villager remains unemployed.
